Meet the parents behind every puppy.
Our program is built around a small, hand-picked group of authentic European Basset Hounds. Each one was chosen for outstanding health, true European build and the soft, loving temperament our families have come to expect.
Our European breeding dogs.
Dolly
Dolly is the heart of our program. She’s a European dam of rare quality with the classic old-world build that defines the true Basset Hound: a deep, broad chest, heavy bone, long silky ears that sweep the ground and wonderfully soulful eyes. At 62 lbs and 14 inches at the shoulder, she’s a textbook example of the European standard — solid, strong and simply beautiful.
What really sets her apart is her mothering. Dolly is patient, gentle and devoted, raising every litter with calm confidence and endless affection. Her puppies start life relaxed, settled and well socialised because she sets the tone from their very first day — a big part of why our puppies are so sweet-natured.
At home, Dolly sleeps on our beds and is loved by everyone in the family, our littlest ones included. She’s living proof that a great breeding dog starts with being a great family dog.
TemperamentDolly is a true gentle giant: calm, patient and endlessly loving. She’s never reactive, anxious or rough, and around children she naturally softens her energy to suit the smallest people in the room. If you’ve ever met one of our puppies and thought you’d never known a sweeter dog — Dolly deserves the credit.

Puchie
Puchie turns heads wherever she goes. Her coat is a rich jet black with deep mahogany tan — thick, glossy and truly eye-catching. At 58 lbs and 13.5 inches at the shoulder, she’s beautifully balanced, with dense bone, a deep chest and the long, velvety ears of the European standard at its best.
She’s the mother of the striking black, white and tan tri puppies in our current litter, and one look at her shows where that colour comes from. Along with her rich pigment and heavy bone, she passes on her exceptional mothering instincts, caring for her puppies meticulously from the moment they arrive.
Puchie is a full member of our household. She spends her days stretched out in the living room, joining our children on walks and soaking up all the love our family has to give. She’s the kind of dog who makes you fall for the breed all over again — and her puppies have that same charm.
TemperamentPuchie is soft, sweet and full of affection — a real homebody who loves cuddles, lazy mornings and staying close to her people. She’s calm and patient with children, completely non-reactive, and wins over new visitors within minutes. As a mother she’s outstanding, and her relaxed, loving nature is a big reason her puppies settle into new homes so easily.

Rollo
Rollo is the foundation sire of our program — a male of rare quality who represents everything an authentic European Basset Hound should be. His black, white and tan tri coat is rich and striking, his bone is exceptional, and he fills a room the moment he walks in. At 72 lbs and 15 inches at the shoulder, he’s powerful and substantial, built true to the European standard with a deep chest, heavy bone, long velvety ears and that classic wrinkled brow.
What makes him so special is how reliably he passes on his best traits. His puppies inherit his heavy bone, classic expression, calm confidence and, most of all, his remarkable gentleness. Litter after litter, he produces puppies that are as sweet as they are handsome — dogs that become the heart of a home within days.
Rollo lives with us as a full family member. He’s patient with children, relaxed around strangers and deeply loyal to our family. Every visitor falls for him straight away, and his puppies carry that same magic.
TemperamentRollo is quiet confidence on four legs. He’s calm, steady and impossible to rattle, taking everything in his stride with relaxed dignity. He’s loving with family, gentle with children of every age and never anxious in new places. His temperament is the standard we breed for — and his puppies’ new families tell us the same thing again and again: they’ve never met a calmer, more loving dog.

A family program, not a kennel.
Our puppies are born inside our home, grow up alongside our children and go to families we get to know personally and trust. You can count on authentic European bloodlines, health-tested parents and breeder support for your puppy’s whole life.
“We thank the Lord for every blessing, and for the privilege of sharing these wonderful dogs with wonderful families.”
