I have been reading Drools for over 8 nyears now, but have never posted 
anything.  This caught my eyes that I had to respond to.  Someone has asked 
about this Breeder.  WELL, We purchased a Basset Puppy from them and so did 
friends of ours.  I was very wery as to if they were just a clean and nice 
mill.  The owners are a bit different.  The kennels are clean.  They seem to 
take good care and love for the puppies.  Would I go back...NO!!!  There is 
something that I am still very wery about.  When we looked at our Lola, we were 
told that the breeder was gonna keep her, she was the last female and lemon and 
white,  this is what we were looking for.  My husband found the breeder as he 
was driving in the area.  Stoped and looked.  Came home told me about the 
puppies and asked if I wanted to go and see on Saturday (THAT WAS A DUMB 
QUESTION!!!).  So we went on Saturday with the 19 and 20 year old kids.  THIS IS 
WHT I DID NOT LIKE.   When we got there it was raining out.  The 12 week old 
puppies were living outside.  They had a Igloo house to stay dry.   The Basset 
puppies were with Blue Tick pups.   The female would not come out of the house, 
so the breeded pulled her out.  She did not like the rain.  I snatched her in my 
arms and held her tight.  Told my husband she was perfect, and it was up to him 
what he wanted to do.  At the same time My daughter and Disable son is 
giving their Dad their sad eyes.  The breeder told us that he was gonna keep her 
but he liked us so much that he would sell to to us.  so we went in the house 
and did all the paper work.  He gave her the next puppy shots and we were given 
papers for AKC and UKC  send in.  We were also told to visit the vet within 3 
days and if there are any problems we can return her.  We went to the vet, our 
little Lola had a hernia and overbit.  Our vet wanted to do surgery on her.  We 
called  the breeded when we got home he asked if we wanted to return her, we 
told him we are in love with her and no.  He asked if we would bring her to his 
Vet.  So we did and he also wanted to see her.  His vet looked at her, told us 
to wait till she was 6 months old and if it was still there he would do the 
surgery and the breeder would pay for it. Lola never had the surgery, it went 
away.  BUT, her overbit never did.  We call her our "HILLBILLY GIRL".  I don't 
feel the breeder was honest with us.  I just have that strange feeling.  Our 
friends who also got a Basset from the Breeder had some issues with their 
puppy.   So, after this long story.  I would not go back and get another puppy 
from them.  I would find another breeder.  As for Lola Mae...She is my husbands 
dog.  And can do no wrong, in my husbands eyes.  In my eyes she is our little 
monster!!!  I don't think she got the memo that Bassets should be laid back and 
mellow.  Her brother and sister who are rescues get tired of her at least 4 
times a day and try to get away from her. BUT,  We love her with all her 
defects.
