Shellie at three boys bassets was always great to deal with very responsive and caring about her puppies I couldn't be happier with my new girl Lucy ❤️ Shellie made me feel like a part of her basset family and would send me pictures and videos whenever I asked and now after 2 weeks with my new puppy she still checks in to see how Lucy is adjusting to her new home. Three boys bassets is a family oriented breeder who shows there puppies lots of love. I couldn't be happier thank you Shellie
