August 14, 2021 Puppies are on the way!

  About a month ago we found our boy ClarkeBar Grizwold (AKC) and Beatrix O'Honey (AKC) doing the puppy dance. It took a few weeks for thing to begin showing up, but we are certain there will be puppies very soon. We expect to have a litter on or near September 11th with delivery to new homes around November 13th.  


If you are ready to become a Basset Baby family you might want to join our Wait List. (An email widget is just to the left of this notice.)

The List is only used to notify people of news as it happens. There is no commitment or cost to join and joining the List is effectively the only way to secure a Reservation for choosing a puppy. We do things a bit differently to reduce the competition stress we found when buying puppies ourselves.

How this all happens is simple enough. We notify people on the Wait List once the puppies arrive and those interested in adopting a puppy will be given an equal opportunity to reserve a place in line for choosing a puppy on a first come, first to choose basis. The first person who makes a reservation, by answering the notice first and placing a $500.00 deposit (through Square.com), will choose their puppy first. The second person follows along, etcetera, until all the Reserved spots are all filled. There are usually many more people interested than we have puppies available, so time is of the essence. We maintain a list of alternates should one of the people fails to take some vital step in the process. Once the puppies are six weeks old and Six Week Evaluations are posted on-line, the first Reservation will choose, followed by the second, etcetera, until all of the puppies have been chosen.

There will be much more information given before Reservations are taken. And anyone interested in more information have time to ask questions. Join our Facebook Rocketdog group and ask anyone of our previous Basset parents anything you like. All people on the Wait List are invited to visit the Farm, the Parents, and the Puppies, prior to deciding anything at all. 


ClarkeBar Grizwold (shown here just after a bath) is a seven year old male which conforms very well to the AKC standard. He has sired seven litters and will likely retire at ten litters and nine years. 

Beatrix O'Honey (Bit O'Honey) is a wonderful two year old Basset which conforms well to the AKC Standard. She is an energetic little girl and this will be her first litter. So far she is showing us that she will do well as a mother and she was very involved in caring for Laffee Taffee's last litter.
