Thinking about adopting a Basset Hound puppy? Like most people, you’ve probably heard time and again that if you have kids, you should adopt a Basset Hound puppy (or, gasp! find a Basset Hound puppy for sale). The rationale is that an adult shelter dog is an unknown quantity, so buying or adopting a Basset Hound puppy is safer. Puppies eventually can be trained out of this behavior, of course, and there are exceptions to every rule, but generally speaking, an adult Basset Hound (or any adult dog) is much less likely to shred your drapes like coleslaw or function as a “helpful” canine document shredder.So a three-month-old Basset Hound puppy needs to go outside every three hours, a four-month-old needs to go every four hours, and so on.  But if you’re planning on leaving your dog alone during your workday, you’ll definitely want to adopt a full-grown dog, ideally from a Basset Hound rescue that can help you find the right dog for your lifestyle. Time to get real: when we ask people what reservations they have about Basset Hound adoption, we hear the same things over and over again.  

Here’s the truth: you absolutely can find a Basset Hound, even a Basset Hound puppy, for adoption in an animal shelter or rescue group.  Think about it: let’s say you buy a Basset Hound puppy for sale by a breeder. But what would happen to your wonderful Basset Hound if, tragically, something happened to you? The lucky person who adopts your Basset Hound would be getting a great dog!  Tyre Price 225 65r17Basset Hound rescue organizations often care for their adoptable dogs in foster homes, which means their foster families will be able to tell you if the Basset Hound you want to adopt is good with other animals or kids, and if he or she is housebroken and knows any basic commands.

Temperament - Type - Substance - Soundness Dedication to the improvement of the Basset Hound breed We are home to Canadian Champions and European titled import Basset Hounds. Our goal is to breed the highest quality Basset Hound Puppies, producing outstanding, competitive show Basset Hounds, as well as exceptional family companions.

We believe in striving for a balance in all of the qualities that make a Basset an excellent representive of the breed: the classic long droopy ears, loose, supple skin, massive paws, a mellow easy going temperament combined with structural soundness. We are very particular in the dogs that we purchase and employ in Participation in conformation dog shows We participate in Canadian Kennel Club conformation dog shows. This is to have our dogs evaluated by judges independent of our breeding program and select superior individuals to produce the nextWe adhere to the code of practice for Breeders of the Canadian Kennel Club and Basset Hound Club of Canada. We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club, Basset Hound Club of Canada and the Lethbridge and District Kennel Club. European influence at Shecara Many of our dogs have been imported from Europe, and have a distinctive type: long droopy ears, loose, supple skin with lots of wrinkle, solid bone construction with huge paws, and are stationed very low to the ground.

However, we are very careful not to let this ‘type’ be the only focus in our breeding program, as sadly so many breeders do today. “European bloodlines” is not a measure of quality; there are poor breeders in Europe just as there are in any other continent. In the words of Raymond Oppenheimer, an eminent figure in the dog world: Don't forget that quality plus substance should be one of yourA fool can breed one without the other! Don't be satisfied with anything but the best. The second best is never good enough. Our Basset Hound puppies are the future of our kennel. Our breedings produce puppies that are pleasant natured and very sociable with children, other dogs and pets, as well as strangers. Placid and affectionate, they are never aggressive or timid. Bassett Hound puppies are such a thrill, we love getting to know their personalities, watching their clownish antics, introducing them to new sights, smells and experiences, and placing them in loving homes
