Parent dogs
Juno, mom
Basset Hound
About Juno
Juno is a AKC finished Champion. She loves cuddles and is very much a "people" dog. She would rather get belly rubs than treats, and that's saying something because she also loves treats. She is incredibly smart and athletic for a basset as well.
Penny, mom
Basset Hound
About Penny
Penny is 100% European deep Red/White Female. She is easily the most intelligent Basset we have ever owned. Very nice quality female, we just didn't get to put her into the show ring due to Covid. Her mother is an import from Russia before the war, when we could still receive imports from them. She is loving and accepting of others. She enjoys visiting care facilities and hospitals, and being with other dogs and people. Super easy to be around. We love her to pieces.
Dollar, dad
Basset Hound
About Dollar
Dollar is a traditional tri. 100% European. He is an overall fantastic example of what a Basset Hound should be. He has fantastic confirmation, intelligence, fun loving and isn't fazed by his surroundings, people, and other animals. Finished his Championship title in 3 weekends. MULTIPLE European and AKC Champions in Pedigree. Photo is of him at 12 months old. Visits care facilites and hospitals, besides going to the dog shows. This guy is an absolute goof ball and we enjoy watching and spending time with him.

Bumpkin Basset Hounds was absolutely wonderful to work with! They are very friendly and informative and have bred exceptional puppies! They helped me through the process and kept me updated frequently on our puppy. Our girl is the sweetest basset that I’ve ever had!
