I loved having weekly pictures and updates from Darlene, and she was thoughtful about pick up and had a blanket ready with mom/dad/auntie’s smell on it. My puppy (Daphne) went to my vet for vaccinations and I was told she appeared in great health and adorable! She’s a wonderful addition to my family.

Our family is so thankful for Darlene and Baying Bassets for our sweet Lacie. From the weekly updates and pictures until we were able to bring her home to the blanket and toys with her mom, dad and siblings scent on them to make the transition easier on her. Lacie has been the perfect addition to our family and cuddle buddy to her now older brother.
