Meet the breeder

I'm Joanna W., the breeder behind Little Patch of Heaven located in Independence, KS. We offer beautiful top quality basset hounds. From our home to yours. Our dogs are a part of our family and are bred for their health and temperament. We strive to breed healthy dogs with great personality and all the things you want in a basset hound.

Q. & A. with Joanna

Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved the breed and we just fell in love with our first 2 dogs and we want to better the breed with great health testing and exceptional socialization that we offer all our puppies.
What makes your program special?
Not only do our dogs have excellent bloodlines, but they’re also very well loved and cared for. They are raised on our small hobby farm exposed to chickens, geese, ducks, and Guinea fowl. And brought up in our home around our children.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black brown and white and black and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Joanna was great to work with. Our pup Fred aka Quinn is amazing. He is the sweetest pup we have owned he is a total velcro dog and attached to me. Joanna worked with me and was understanding when I had to change our meet up last minute due to a family emergency. I have recommended her to everyone who comments on my boy.
