All the “youngins” wandering about!! They are discovering balancing and their voices🥰 All the babies have strong legs, lots of energy (when not sleeping so much, lol) and great appetites! Little teeth are starting to erupt so we will be on our way to introducing a soft diet late next week!!

Miss Charlie is our tri-colored lady! She’s a very affectionate companion, she’ll give you hugs and have lots of conversations with you🤭🤭. She has been a wonderful mom and hope all the babies have her some of her unique character❤️ Aside from her CKC registration with documented pedigree, she has also had her hips evaluated.

Lewis, dad
Basset Hound
About Lewis
Lewis is a well characterized, American basset hound and he is beautiful!! He is AKC registered with a very lengthy pedigree documented. He is broad and a big ol’ hoss with a gentle, loving demeanor! He is well socialized and great with other dogs and cats. Loves to talk and will tell you all about it on introductions but then loves up to you after he lets out everything he has to say. Nose and ears to the ground ALWAYS.

We had such a wonderful experience with Dawn From start to finish she was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoroughly, which made the entire process easy and stress-free. You can truly tell they care deeply about their dogs and where their puppies go. We felt completely confident and at ease throughout the process, and our new puppy “Whiskey “ is absolutely perfect—healthy, happy, and well-socialized. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trusted, caring breeder! 🐾
