I'm Halle T., the breeder behind Halle's Ground Hounds located in New York, NY. I am a weiner dog enthusiast and breed for exceptional health and personality. I believe that they are the ultimate companions. My dogs are part of the family and sleep in our bed (except, of course, when they have a litter of puppies…. Although Biza did decide to give birth to this current litter in our bed).
