Breeder of Beagles and Basset Hounds

Meet the breeder

I'm Teresa C., the breeder behind Orange Mountain Basset Hounds located in Robbins, TN. I have lived my entire life with hounds, Bassets, and Beagles. I couldn't imagine life without them. We live on 296 acres and had our hounds in mind when we bought, to allow them to be able to run in packs. I devote my time to them and have many Grandchildren that help love on and socialize with our puppies. I feel blessed to do what I love: produce, raise, and work with Bassets.

Q. & A. with Teresa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My grandmother bred Bassets and my father bred Beagles. I worked at a vet for 16 years and have always had the dream to follow in my family's footsteps. I have a circle of Basset & Beagle breeding friends who have helped my dream come into focus.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have lots of love for the breed and I do not breed for the money. I want to maintain the standards of the breed and honor their history. Once I'm no longer breeding, I would love to be a Basset Hound rescue and senior home. All my gals & girls will retire here on this farm we've built round them. This is their life and our world ❤️. I want each dog and pup to feel like everyday they won the lottery with life here.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Beagle puppies include black tan and redtick, blue tan and white, black tan and white, black tan and bluetick, black fawn and white, and black and tan. Basset Hound puppies include black and white, blue tan and white, red and white, mahogany and white, lemon and white, 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 and a kennel on my property.

    Teresa was the best! She made the process simple to understand and helped it go so smoothly. She even referred me to a wonderful transport service in her area, Paws Across America! We are all absolutely smitten over Randy the Basset Hound. He is a beautiful dog with a happy go lucky face. Would get a house full of babies from Teresa, if I could 😜

    We have never gone through a breeder before and Teresa was so amazing with communicating updates and answering questions. She made the whole process very smooth and made it easy to welcome two new members to our family! If we ever think of getting another basset or know someone who is, she will be the first one we contact again!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Teresa! From the moment we connected, Teresa was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the entire experience enjoyable. Her clear communication throughout the process was refreshing, and we always felt informed and supported. We absolutely loved receiving regular updates and adorable photos of our puppy, Ikarus, before we brought him home. Now that he’s with us, we couldn’t be happier! Ikarus is such a sweet guy—curious and full of personality. He has a strong sense of adventure and loves to explore everything around him. He’s our little king of naps, often finding the coziest spots for some shut-eye. What makes him even more special is his unique opinions on everything; we love to listen to him “talk” about his thoughts! Ikarus is truly an absolute treasure, bringing endless joy and laughter to our lives. Thank you, Teresa, for raising such a wonderful companion. We are so grateful for our experience with Orange Mountain Basset Hounds!
