Great Lakes Basset Hounds

Ashley R.

Breeder of Basset Hounds

Meet the breeder

I'm Ashley R., the breeder behind Great Lakes Basset Hounds located in Manistique, MI. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. I breed health tested, quality dogs. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.

Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have a strong love/passion for basset hounds. They are extremely hard to find in my area.
  • What makes your program special?

    I feel my program is special because I feel we are improving the breed. Our dogs do not hunt, but they have the best personalities and make wonderful family dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
