Located in Gulf Breeze, FL. 5 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Why not turn your puppy pickup into a beach getaway? Come for the views, leave with a best friend.

Q. & A. with Maria

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My dad bred my childhood dog so I was always familiar with the process, but before I started breeding, I did about three years of research and ensuring it was the right thing for our family and our dogs. In our area of North Florida there weren’t any available good looking bassets for 7+ hrs. I saw a need and decided to do it. A lot of our bassets go to local families in the area.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are first and foremost part of our family. The puppies are born and raised inside our home in a huge section of our living room. I am extremely open about our dogs and I do my best to build a relationship with a client so they know that they can reach out to me for questions or advice at anytime. It is not a one time purchase but a relationship throughout the Dog’s life if needed/wanted.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black brown and white and lemon and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Maria was a joy to work with. I got updates frequently during the whole process. She was accommodating in surprising my mother with a puppy visit. The best thing about getting a puppy, besides puppy breath, from Maria is how well socialized he was. We have people of all ages visiting so socialization is very important. We are so in love with our, not so little anymore, Roscoe. Thanks Breeze Basset Hounds!
