Lots of questions on what happened. So instead of answering everyone individually here it is.
Sofiya. 12-26-17 to 5-24-24
Sofiya made the long journey to me from Russia when she was 4 months old. She was the very first momma of Begginburg. She was mom to 26 puppies and her son Charleston made her a grandma of 2 puppies.
She was also Aunt to my dogs Kane and Keyara. Sofiya was exactly what a European basset hound should look like, so many wrinkles, the longest ears that I had to pull up on walks because they would drag on the ground and she could howl just like a hound should and I loved it. She was the sweetest girl and the very best momma. She thought her 90 pound body made a great lap dog and would squish me daily.
My daughter even taught her how to high five.
Sofiya developed an eye abscess and had to have a CT performed. To perform the CT, they had to give her anesthesia and she didnโt react well and went into cardiac arrest. They couldnโt bring her back.
Sofiya you had my heart from the moment you sat up on your bum and looked at me with those beautiful eyes.
You can now be with your son King Louis Vuitton. Run free together.
RIP Sofiya I love you.
TBT to way back in the day when I had 24 dogs in my house. Thank goodness I had 3 story house and the 3rd level was all for them. 2 different litters born on the same day.
This was actually a really fun time even though hectic. All the bassets got along then and they all could be together with the puppies. As I added more females over the years some of those mamas didnโt like their puppies around any other female.
The original 4 adults that started it all in this video. The one and only stud muffin Lord Stanley of Begginburg, Princess Stella Bella of Begginburg, My Russian import the Queen of Begginburg my forever love Sofiya and my Canadian import Remington Steele my Heart of Begginburg

Happy Tuesday all

We are 5 weeks old today and averaging 8 pounds.
Enjoy the cuteness while you can. Time is flying and before we know it they will be going to their furever homes
I swear in 3 days they doubled in size!!! How cute are they?!! Omg
Sweet Sophia and I had fun while the other puppies were all sleeping. The second to last picture, that basset stink eye. ๐ Happy Friday everyone. Sound up ๐๐๐
Feeding time!! We are 4 weeks old today!
Itโs on. Winston and Zane. Tag team partner Marla comes in at the end and helps Winston with the pin!
I know the things I post lol but the winner from this litter is Winston. Potty pads were added to the play pen today and Winston was the first to use them. Itโs a big milestone working toward potty training. The rest of the puppies will get the hang of it soon too.
Ok I posted individual pictures then I had to have some more fun with it.
Enjoy and check out the other 2 posts with just the pictures. Puppies are
3 weeks 4 days old
