Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
We fell head over heels in love with Ellie our female Basset. She is the perfect dog. She is so smart, loving and beautiful. We added Maxx because we wanted to have little bassets. They are the perfect couple.
What makes your program special?
I think the thing that sets us apart is that we are just a loving family that loves our Bassets
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
