I'm Susan L., the breeder behind Susan's Basset Hounds located in Meyersdale, PA. We work very closely with our veterinarian with responsible breeding- once per year- until age 4 or 5. Our Bassets have a wellness exam before breeding to make sure they are in the best of health.
Each puppy goes to its forever home with: AKC litter Registration certificate and AKC welcome packet, vet examination certificate, puppy blanket with mommas scent, bag of puppy food. Puppies will also have their first set of vaccinations and first wormer. Second wormer sent home with puppy.

We could not be more grateful to have Miss Maple. She came from one of the sweetest families that we have met! She was socialized as a puppy, which made it much easier to introduce her to our other dogs so far at 12 weeks old, we have not had any health issues and she is just the sweetest thing!

We are very lucky to have breeder that truly loves their Bassett Hounds. Susan has been top notch when it comes to my many questions Susan responded almost instantly!
Duke is our puppy we purchased from Susan. We were able to get many pictures of Duke, his mom and dad, and Duke's brothers and sisters. We were able to see how big Duke was getting. When it was time to pick up Duke, we were able to see where Duke lived. Susan was amazing with handling Buttercup, mom, and Billy ,dad,and the babies. The puppies were in constant around their parents. You can tell Susan really cared about the parents and the puppies. When asked where did you Duke, I am proud to let them know that Susan is an excellent breeder. If we plan on getting another Bassett Hound puppy we will go with Susan again.

We have nothing but excellent things to say about Susan and her dogs. We have two bassets from Susan, a 2 year old and a baby. Both of the dogs are amazing.
Susan, her family, and her dogs all give the babes so much care and gentle attention. They are handled so sweetly.
These are lovely, family raised dogs with owners who go the extra mile and make the experience so convenient and exciting.
We adore our pooches and are so grateful to have found Susan to give them such a great start in life!

Susan was great to work with, very responsive, answered any question and kept us updated constantly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She truly cares about her puppies, they are brought up as part of the family, and she even starts them potty training!! Maverick is so sweet, healthy and fit into our family right away. I would highly recommend her to everyone!!
