Get to know our family
Hi, I’m Emily — and these are my dogs.
My love for European Basset Hounds started long before our breeding journey did. Their soulful eyes, gentle personalities and loyal companionship inspired me to start our family-centred breeding program in 2008.
Rollo, Dolly, Puchie and Rooben are far more than breeding dogs. They’re part of our household and part of every adventure — from quiet evenings at home to family outings and road trips.
We keep our program small on purpose, with around two to three litters a year. That lets us give every puppy individual attention and build real relationships with the families who take them home.
When you get in touch, you talk to me directly. I believe bringing a puppy home should start with trust, honest conversation and a shared commitment to the dog’s future.

The heart of our family
Meet Rollo, Dolly, Puchie & Rooben.
Our Basset Hounds are treasured companions who share our home and our everyday life. Their personalities, character and wellbeing are at the centre of everything we do.
Family life
Not just our dogs. Our companions.
Our Bassets are part of the rhythm of family life. Whether they’re stretched out indoors, exploring outside or riding along on a new adventure, they’re surrounded by affection and individual care.

How we raise our puppies
Born at home. Raised with love.
Our puppies start life inside our family home, where they’re watched over closely and cared for personally. From their very first days, they hear the familiar sounds, routines and warmth of a busy household.
As they grow, we introduce new experiences that build curiosity and prepare them for life with their new family. Each puppy is treated as an individual, with attention to their own temperament and development.
- Early Neurological Stimulation from days 3–16
- Gentle socialising with family members and other animals
- New sounds, surfaces and household experiences
- One-on-one handling and personality observations
- Vet checks and age-appropriate preventive care
- Registration papers and a microchip before going home
The values that guide us
Our breeding philosophy.
Three priorities shape every decision we make: our dogs’ health, their temperament, and the distinctive qualities of the European Basset Hound.
Gentle temperament
We treasure the affectionate, steady, easygoing nature Basset Hounds are loved for. When we plan a litter, temperament matters just as much as looks.
European heritage
We love the sturdy frame, classic expression and signature features of the European Basset Hound — always balanced with good health and soundness.
Our promise to families
A commitment to responsible care.
Families deserve honesty, helpful guidance and a clear picture of the care their puppy receives — before and long after pickup day.

A personal note from Emily
Grateful to share what we love.
“I thank the Lord for the blessings we’ve received, and for the chance to share the joy of these wonderful dogs with others.”
My faith is an important part of my life. It shapes the care, kindness and honesty I try to bring to our program. I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in us, and for the chance to help them start a happy new chapter with a Basset Hound.
— Emily
