Q. & A. with Judy
Why did you start breeding?
I love Basset Hound puppies and love being with them. So I decided the only way to keep puppies around was to raise them. It was hard at first because I feel so responsible for their innocence. I have to make sure they go to loving and kind homes. I have been doing this 15 plus years and I have met some of the most precious Basset Hound lovers. I always say once a Basset Hound owner always a Basset Hound owner. You cannot hold a Basset Hound puppy without it warming your heart and putting a big smile on your face.
What makes your program special?
I just Love the breed and I love my clients and their love for my sweet adorable puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Judy was amazing! And the beautiful little girl I got from her is so sweet and healthy. I’m so grateful Judy. I wasn’t sure about Good Dog but I’m so happy I used it and found Judy. It was an easy process, and Judy met my husband so he didn’t have to venture too far from the highway. She was very flexible. I will definitely go back to Judy
