Q. & A. with Vicki
Why did you start breeding?
My passion for Basset Hounds began back in the 1990s, my family always owned and raised purebred dogs but mainly Collies, Giant Schnauzers and Cocker Spaniels. Once, at a dog show, I met the deep gaze of an unusual dog; it was sitting so solemnly and proud but at the same time, gentle and affectionate, It was a Basset Hound. The look of it impressed me so much that I told myself that one day I would own one.What makes your program special?
After acquiring more experience over the years of showing the dogs and meeting other breeders and breed lovers, I discovered more knowledge and love for breeding, raising, and showing Basset Hounds. I love my Basset Hound hobby and feel my hounds will not disappoint other breed lovers.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
