Q. & A. with Gianna
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding as a hobby as I worked full time and raised a pastle of children. I was forced to retire early and needed something to do to keep me sane and got my first Basset hound and one led to many more over time.. I was hooked for life with this breed especialy once I got my first European named Fred, I was smitten! I strive to breed for Standard and then some.
What makes your program special?
I think my program is special because I pay close attention to the basset hound in and out in order to put out the best basset hounds possible.. I do health testing on all of my adults and only have healthy good natured hounds in my program. I stand by all of my puppies and will always take them back and I give a health guarantee for for many years
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
