    I am so beyond thrilled with my experience with Kenneth! My new little lady, Miss Flopsie Magoo is simply perfect. This was my first time getting a dog through a breeder and I was admittedly a bit nervous; however, Kenneth was available and friendly and answered all my plethora of questions along the way. I was particularly impressed with the health testing results he boasts for his dogs that are all available to view on his profile. Responsible, respectful, and Kind. I dont think youll be disappointed to bring one of his little Basset babies home. Thanks, Kenneth for making my home and heart that much more full!
