Meet the breeder
I'm Tiffany L., the breeder behind Well Hounded Bassets located in Knoxville, TN. Our bassets are raised in our home with love, kids, and couch time. With backgrounds in dog handling and teaching, we focus on gentle training, great temperaments, and happy, healthy pups. They’re well-socialized, vet-checked, and ready to bring joy to their forever families.
Q. & A. with Tiffany
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with Basset Hounds back when we were just dating, and losing our first left a big basset-shaped hole in our hearts. Years later—now married with four kids—we brought a basset back into our lives, then another… then a third. With guidance from our vet and lots of learning, we eventually had our first precious litter. Now we’re happily sharing that Basset Hound joy with other people.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is built on love, experience, and trust. My husband, a former dog handler, and I, a high school art teacher, raise bassets with structure and compassion. Our dogs live indoors, are crate trained, and learn with gentle, positive reinforcement. Our whole family is hands-on in raising calm, happy, and well-adjusted pups—ready to thrive in homes where they’ll be truly cherished.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown black and white, lemon and white, black and white, and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates

Litter update on 13 July •It’s getting official guys! The puppies’s registration papers arrived today. 🙂

Litter update on 13 July •…The puppies are growing fast! We are letting them have playtime outside of their sleeping area. This gives them time to socialize with the big dogs, and our family. It is also good learning time with momma Minnie. I like this video that shows them playing and how Minnie checks that they are not getting too rough. Ten minutes later, it’s back to nap time. Gotta love a Basset Hound. ♥️ In other news, I checked with the vet today. We have scheduled 8 week shots and well check for August 7th at 9 am. That means, these pups can officially go to their furever homes any time after that. Plan start thinking about and scheduling your pick up plans with me. 🙂 * please forgive my video skills. 🤦♀️

Litter update on 09 July •…Have you met Mia? This sweet girl is looking for her forever home. She is a healthy growing girl. She is weening well, gobbling out the puppy food. In fact, she doubled in size in the last two weeks. Her full grown weight is estimated to be between 40-50 lbs. She likes to play with the nubby ball and also her littermates. She is agreeable to being bathed. And of course she loves her basset naps with cuddles.

Litter update on 05 July •…A lazy Sunday at our home full of Bassets looks like this. Yesterday all the big dogs god bathed and all the dog toys and bedding got cleaned. Today the pups had their first baths. They were mostly very chill about it. Millie fussed just a little and Mauve was the winner of resistance (but even she was pretty good). After there was a bit of sunbathing in a baby pool. Followed by a closely supervised picnic time. Then, as the puppies tried to cuddle up on the warm towel one by one, I decided it was nap time back inside, in their freshly sterilized puppy play pin. Minnie joined them (we leave the pin open for now so that Minnie can come and go as she pleases). Sheba cuddled up to her momma. The rest of the pups formed their traditional pile. Now they are all blissfully sleeping again. The basset life is a good one for sure.

Litter update on 01 July •…We have begun weening the pups. They all LOVED chowing down on the puppy food. Now they are all cuddled up in an adorable post meal puppy pile. Look at all these sweet babies! I can’t even! I adore raising these babies and getting them ready for their fur-ever homes. 🐶♥️

Program update on 21 June •…We are opening our eyes now…but not for long periods. We are still super sleepy pups, using most our energy to nurse and grooooooooowwwwwww FAST!♥️
Tiffany L.
Program update on 08 Feb •…The pups had their first grooming today. Each pup had a bath in the sink followed by a towel dry and a bit of blow dry. Then, they each got their ears cleaned and finished up with a good nail clipping. But the grand finale was ,of course, an adorable puppy pile up naptime. I included photos of the things we use for grooming because this is what we like the most after trying various brands.

Litter update on 04 Feb •Two weeks until the puppies start to go home.In the meantime, everybody is enjoying snuggles

About Minnie
Minnie is a petite girl, but she is in control. She loves to curl up on your lap, but if the doorbell rings, or she hears a knock, she is immediately on her feet and ready to protect her tribe. She is a great momma. She takes care of her babies and is protective, but she likes to have her breaks to play with boys now and then. She naps wherever she wants because she is the queen. She is a daddy's girl all the way. She is 25% European and NAPR registered.

Basset Hound
About Maggie
Maggie is our 4th dog. She is a future dam. For now she is enjoying the life of a playful young hound. She and Miles love to run around and chase each other with toys (for 5-10 bursts). Then it’s time to find a soft place to cuddle, or a person to pet her belly.
Miles, dad
Basset Hound
About Miles
Miles is a laid back, sleepy basset. It takes him a couple minutes to stretch and wake up before he moves in the morning and after his naps. He is definitely a lover. However, when he sleeps he likes his own space. He often naps in his crate or on the couch. He is vocal when he is excited. He sometimes whines when he thinks he is getting less attention that the other bassets. He is 75% European, and AKC registered.

Tiffany was amazing and very knowledgeable about the breed. She was a great communicator and sent me plenty of updates. I picked up Copper and he already knew his name and they updated me on everything I needed to do when we got home. So happy I used Good Dog and that we got our sweet boy! Highly recommend!!
