Happy Hounds

I'm Stacey C., the breeder behind Happy Hounds located in Imler, PA. Our dogs are family pets that produce amazing puppies! Raised in my home, every puppy receives constant love, attention, and supervision. They work on potty training, manners, and socialization well before leaving my home. Puppies first 8 weeks of life goes by super fast. I swear I blink and they are "old enough" to leave 😭. So while I have them, I spend so much time exposing them to as many things as I can here; loud noises, household items, steps, ramps, cats, other dogs, and even chickens! Their parents teach them how to be a dog and I begin teaching them how to be a family member. 😊 When puppies leave my house, I want to be certain that they are going to a home that will love and care for them as much, or even more than I do! Sometimes that takes me a little bit of time to look at applicants and see if I have a pup that will work out well for them. Sometimes I get multiple applications at the very same time on a particular pup and that can be tricky, but I do my best to respond as quickly as I can. Different puppies can have such different personalities and behavior characteristics and may do better in different types of homes, and that's ok. Basset hounds can be SO different from one another. Some are a little shy, while some are ready to wrestle your neighbor. At 8 weeks, their personalities are just starting to emerge. I try my hardest to match up puppies to their perfect home, so if you are interested in learning more about any of my pups, just reach out. Say hi. Your puppy comes with a bag of starter food, a blanket and toy with moms scent, and CKC registration application. They have been using the doggie door and "potty outside" fairly well, with encouragement. All puppies have been checked by a vet and given their first immunization. They are dewormed at 3 & 6 wks with pyrantel, and at 7 wks with safeguard fenbendazole. Parents are regularly treated with flea prevention, but due to age puppies have only used natural products. Basset hounds can be so so loving. They can also be so stubborn at the same time. I'm not sure what I love about them the most, but I'd have to say that their intelligence is right up there on the list! 💡. If you think that a basset hound casually watching you put up a gate, isn't planning a way to get thru that gate, then you may get surprised when you turn your back on it. 🤣 For everyone who has had the pleasure of a basset in your life, while trying to "outsmart the dog", your my kind of people. For those of you who are new to bassets....., welcome 🤗 Great homes come in all shapes & sizes, but must be an indoor one. Bassets do not love getting very cold and some despise getting wet. They would make horrible livestock guardian dogs and would be miserable if not inside as part of a family, so no pup will be adopted to an outdoor only home! That is just about my only non negotiable.
