We are extremely happy with Craven Bassets and GoodDog. The process was streamlined and easy. Sway from Craven Bassets kept in contact with us from the beginning. We are in love with the two babies we got from Sway - Pebbles and Bam Bam!

They were very professional and prompt when messaging back and forth. We are so happy with the puppy we bought from them. She is so sweet and wonderful with my 5 children. You can tell they raise their puppies with love. I would get another basset hound from them in a heartbeat.

Craven Bassetts is absolutely phenomenal. The owner Miss Tucker is everything one expects and wishes to be from a breeder. Her efforts to make your experience as wonderful as you can only dream are above and beyond. The beautiful puppies she breeds and raises are of excellent background and quality. Well adjusted, friendly, happy, healthy, handsome and beautiful, that when you meet them, you will have a hard time only taking one home.
My husband and I chose red, boy number 5, whom we named Stevie.
There is not enough praise to be given to Miss Tucker for how she is raising her puppies. From the first night till now day 5, we haven't had one problem. He fits perfectly into our family. We are overjoyed, our hearts are filled with love and happiness. Miss Tucker has brought a light into our lives with Stevie and we are forever grateful to her and Craven Bassetts!
God bless you and your loving fury children.
You will forever have a place in our hearts.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Ronnie and Kathi
