Rocketdog Bassets: The Lady Drinks Litter(s)

Taffee at three years

Grizelda Laffee Taffee (AKC) and ClarkeBar Grizwold have given us seven very exciting little pups. This is their third litter and experience tells me there will be seven exceptionally pretty Basset Hounds available to new Basset parents. There is something about pairing these two which produces greatness and near-greatness. Because of this we will be pricing this litter at $1600.00 each pup. It will certainly be worth the little bit extra. We kept a male from the last litter to replace ClarkeBar, they are just so very good. Her first litter produced the best male I've seen in American Bassets.

Taffee at ten weeks

Laffee Taffee is quite small (35 pounds) for a Basset Hound with exceptional European features. Her ears are special, her coloring wonderful, and her personality is sparkling. She is a very good hunter on our farm and tenacious, patient, and quick. She is clever and willful, cuddly and eternally happy. There have been no health issues with any of her offspring. A great Basset Hound Female and great mother.

ClarkeBar Grizwold is an eight year old charmer. He's getting a bit white in the muzzle, so we kept one of his boys a few litters back and plan on retiring him soon. Clarke is a bit smaller that other Basset males (45 pounds), but he carries himself well.

ClarkeBar Grizwold at eight years

ClarkeBar at eight weeks

He has very good European features, where they count, and is very athletic in form (wasp waisted with a deep sternum). He is genetically tested and has sired twelve litters. His offspring generally share his good European traits, but this is a very good American Basset Hound in form and temperament.

Chocolate Martini is a robust little 16 ounce Basset puppy.
He's quick and has been scooting around the whelping pen getting into trouble.
If someone is yelping, it's Chocolate Martini

Chocolate Martini has wonderfully simple coloring right now
But he will likely develop some brown around the head.
He appear to have white eyelids but this is just naked skin reflections

Cosmopolitan is our miracle baby, born quiet and carefully recessitated.
She took some time to bring back from the edge, but was totally worth it.
She is a happy little 12 ounce miracle.

Cosmo is a lovely little Basset female.
Perhaps she will develop into something near to her mother.
A tiny miracle. If I could keep her I would.

Daquiri is everything a tri-colored boy can be at three days old.
He is a solid one pound in weight and we can't wait to find out what he will become.

Daquiri has the sweetest face and a wonderful Harry Potter blaze.
Eventually his entire head will likely go brown, but it will be a nice brown.

Gimlet is an absolutely beautiful.14.6 ounce baby boy Basset.
His coloring is wonderful and his ears are already longer than all others.

Gimlet favors his mother's facial coloring and will develop into a great tri-colored adult.
Only time will tell how these pups will turn out but this one starts of with the right stuff.

Kamakazee has quirky good looks. Slightly off of center, but somehow right as well.
He is a healthy 16 ounces. It make the math easy.

Kamakazee seems to be below the average of this litter.
But the average is very, very high. He's a jewel.

Mai Tai is gorgeous, perfectly symmetrical in facial coloring and mostly in the body fur.
This will only add to her beauty as she grows.

Mai Tai is a great example of a litter where there are none of medium quality.
She is a strong 14.5 ounces of fun.

Some days it seems worth it to be a breeder.
Mimosa makes it worth the trouble.
Clarke and Taffee make some beautiful pups.
Mimosa is a wonderful 13.7 ounces of cuddly fun.
