Meet Ophelia 🩵
When searching for a next dog, we had a few criteria that were important to us. A hound to do scent sports with, but smaller for Sarah to handle. A breed predisposed to co-existing well with other dogs, fit for function, from a good lineage and an ethical breeder. Our perfect match came in the form of the Basset Bleu de Gascogne, a French working pack hound that is rare in the UK.
We are so grateful to Caelestibleu for trusting us with one of their special puppies. From crate training to toilet training, early neurological stimulation to handling, Ophelia has been provided with the most incredible foundations and so far has been an absolute dream.
She takes everything in her stride with confidence and inquisitiveness - maybe too much - those of you who’ve joined on walks recently will attest to how much she’s hated her papoose prison and just wanted to be running around 😂
She is so different to Obie when he was a puppy and we’re taking a totally different approach with her, focusing on socialisation, play and relationship building rather than obedience. We’re taking it very slowly with Obie to set them both up for success. He’s been so good so far and we’re sure they’ll be great friends 🫶
It’s a bonus that she is also the cutest thing in the entire world!
We can’t wait to share more about our journey with Ophelia, and what we get up to with her!
