All breeding are done and planned thru our local vet who performs our progesterone tests to ensure Ovulation and then when levels are reached AI services are then performed so all breeding are done clinically to reduce infections. Pups are usually whelped at 61 days of gestation and are whelped up stairs in our whelping room where accommodations are provided for our human nurses to spend their days and nights observing the pups up to their 3rd week birthday. At this point weaning is started and this will take up to one week during which mom is constantly on watch for Mastitis, as the milk is slowly dried up. Mom is then introduced back to the kennel and will now have a well deserved break for the next year or so as we do not do back to back breeding with our Females. We enjoy our bassets and consider them all family here as our children. So like children they can now show or play till their next litter is due in a year or so.

As our bassets are shown regularly, and the Judges have told us by Presenting us with wins (Championships) that we are building a correct Basset Hound, thus eliminating structural problems such as crooked legs and feet, back problems or hip problems, as a Basset that is not built properly will not achieve a championship and could be a potential for body illnesses down the road that is commonly found in poorly built basset hounds. Both structure and movement are essential for a sound basset hound.
