We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
Robin’s experience
About Robin
We are a family of 7. We come from a huge sports background, especially baseball. We have such an understanding of the joy of being blessed with great companions. Our dogs are our family, and we are so excited to be a part of that same joy for others.
What makes Robin’s program special
We offer high quality purebred basset hounds for a reasonable price. These are great pets or hunting partners. We do not participate in show dog breeding (AKC), but provide full health and breed DNA testing.

More about Robin
Why Robin started breeding
My husband grew up with Basset hounds and when we got married he begged to get another one. I fell in love with the breed after getting our first boy. We discussed breeding in the future and chose to leave that option open. 2 years later we introduced a female to our family. Both of them were blessed by the vet as healthy for breeding, so here we are!!!
