Q. & A. with Leigh Ann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In 2005 my sister gave me my first basset hound and it has been basset madness ever sense . I very quickly became a basset hound person and 18 years later … I wouldn’t change it for the world.

  • What makes your program special?

    An amazing veterinarian and a type A personality ! Those two things have been an asset to my breeding program . I am very thorough with vet care as well as well thought out strategic breedings based on health testing, temperament, color and confirmation…..putting wellness above all else with my dogs and puppies . I am also very careful about contagious disease taking precautions very seriously to prevent any exposure to parvo in the under vaccinated puppies . My puppies are not only healthy but well rounded and confident. They are Loving and they are loved by us every single day from the moment they are born. Constant attention and supervision of puppies coupled with the strategic planned breedings to eliminate risk of genetic diseases makes for a healthy well rounded loving confidant puppy. My support continues through the lives of my puppies and if at any time during there life there is a hardship I will always take back my puppies … regardless of the age or circumstances. They will always be welcome here and I am a phone call away if my families need me .

    Our puppies include black and brown, red and white, mahogany and white, black brown and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Leigh Ann! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, kind, and invested in making sure her puppies were going to good homes. You can truly tell how much she cares about every single one of her puppies, as well as the adult dogs she has raised. We drove all the way to and from Colorado to bring our Basset Hound puppy home, and the trip was absolutely worth it. Leigh Ann made the entire process feel comfortable and reassuring, and she was always willing to answer our questions and help in any way she could. Most importantly, Leigh Ann is someone we feel we can trust. She genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they go to, and that really stood out to us. We are so grateful we found her and trusted her with adding our new puppy to our family. Thank you so much, Leigh Ann, for everything you do and for raising such wonderful puppies. We absolutely love our new addition! ❤️🐾

    Leigh Ann was absolutely fantastic during this whole process! She answered any questions we had and gave us updates all the time. You can tell these puppies are absolutely loved the minute they are born. We couldn't be happier with our baby boy, and would highly recommend Leigh Ann and Good Dog!
