Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
My breeder, who is a Vet, suggested I start my own business. We got an amazing male from her and we worked with her to get the perfect female to have puppies that meet or exceed breed standard. We then waited again for her to have another perfect female to join our pack. We work with our breeder and our vet to provide top quality Basset Hounds to families.What makes your program special?
Tiramisu is 100% European. Nutella is 3/4 European and 1/4 American. Their puppies are very long bodied, long ears and wonderful saggy skin. We have tri color and brown and white puppies. All our puppies are extremely well socialized with kids and dogs. 2 of our dogs have won best in breed in dog shows and 1 dog is therapy dog of the year in her state. One of our puppies is currently the record holder in Missouri for dog with the longest ears!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown and white and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
