Great Lakes 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.
