Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always remembered a dog at my side through any point of my life, wether it was the comforting love they give or the kisses the share, or the longtime loyalty they have. I love seeing the joy a puppy brings to a family, and the longtime love that is made. When I got my first dachshund I was instantly in love, and have grew up with them all my life and since then I wanted to bring happy healthy puppies into families lives!

    Getting our new Puppy from Valley Bassets was a great experience. Mary was very communicative and willing to answer all my questions. I would definitely recommend working with Valley Bassets when looking for your next baby basset❣️

    I just brought home my new little one yesterday! Working with Mary has been amazing. She kept me updated every week, answered any question I had, and was willing to work with me on times of pick up. She gave me a little bag of vet records, a small bag of her dog food, a blanket with the smell of her mom, and a new toy. This experience was amazing and so flawless. Couldn’t have gone any better.

    Valley Bassets kept me in the loop entire time we were waiting to bring our puppy home. Always quick to respond to text messages and more than happy to answer any of our questions. Very friendly and professional operation from start to finish.
