We have been hobby breeders of only Basset Hounds. We have devoted much time and effort over the years to this breed. In doing so we have learned so much but in that we always realize how much more there is to learn. We welcome visitors, especially if you are considering adding one of our pups to your family. You are welcome to come and visit our dogs as many other people have done over the years. God has given us the privilege of being able to be stewards over these wonderful animals and with that comes much responsibility, which we take very seriously. "for every animal of the forest is mine ,and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine" Psalm 50:10
About Bassets
The Basset Hound is known for its long ears, droopy eyes, short legs and friendly disposition. They truly melt your heart with their sad solemn expression. Their loyal devoted demeanor makes this breed a family favorite. The character is written all over them! Originally from France, the Basset was bred for the hunt. They are the top in tracking due to their low to the ground nose and long ears which aids in picking up the scent. The word Basset is derived from "bas", meaning low. Even though they were bred for their hunting instincts, they are equally at home as a beloved companion. Not a frisky, hyper breed, but a calm sometimes lazy couch potato who just wants to please! Health Guarantee

This guarantee is only valid if your puppy is on at least 2 years of daily Nuvet Plus vitamins starting the day he/she leaves our kennel and you purchase a Home Essentials Kit. We believe so strongly in Nuvet Plus daily supplements and treating and preventing illness and life's occasional health situations, i.e., ear infections, aches and sprains with non toxic, synthetic free choices, rather than antibiotics and harsh chemicals that have multiple side effects... that we have included it in our contract to ensure the health and well being of your puppy. Please allow your first line of defense to be a natural solution. I will teach you how! This can save you so much on vet costs... learning to treat you, your families' and your animals health needs is very empowering. We do not guarantee the following on any puppy sold:

the date the puppy leaves our property onwards. Upon receiving your puppy you have 96 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) from that date to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian. If the veterinarian finds that the puppy has a life-threatening condition that makes it a health risk, you have the option of returning the dog immediately AT BUYERS EXPENSE, and there must be a written statement and the test results documentation from your veterinarian mailed to us as proof of the condition and we will replace the puppy with another one that is available. If no puppies are available in the current litter, you will be put on the list for the next planned litter and that pup will be shipped to you free of shipping costs.

If at any time you decide you do not want your puppy even into adulthood, Hounful Heart will take your dog back, no questions asked. We do not want any of our dogs to end up in a shelter or basset rescue. HEALTH
Your pup will have had regular wormings and regular treatments for parasites and its first set of vaccines before it leaves our kennel. After your pup leaves our kennel, we are not responsible for minor things such as parasites, worms, Giardia, Coccidia, cryptosporidium, diarrhea or other minor conditions such as bladder infections, ear infections which can easily be resolved with simple medication. Your pup is at risk for all canine diseases until it has had the remaining vaccines that you are responsible for giving. One week after the final vaccine at week 17, your puppy should be fully vaccinated and therefore safe to take out into the world, i.e., parks etc. We are not responsible for undescended te**is, umbilical hernias or inguinal hernias, Pano, hip dysplasia or any other developed condition.
