I'm the breeder behind Mockingbird Hollow Bassets located in Saint Cloud, FL. My name is Edie and I’ve loved basset hounds for as long as I can remember. I got my first basset years ago and I now have 3, each unique in personality and spoiled completely rotten. We started our breeding a few years ago with a focus on healthy, happy, family pets with loving disposition.
About Edie
I’m a 50yo female, work at home dog-mom who also happens to have a miniature horse and babydoll sheep farm.
What makes Edie’s program special
I focus on the health of my animals first and in doing so, that should translate to healthy puppies. We do not push for breedings, and instead limit it for the health of momma, breeding no more than once a year.

About Ruckus
Ruckus is all puppy at heart. He’s two years old and is NOT the typical lazy basset. He loves his ball and playing with toys and driving his girl-friends crazy with playing. Lounging around, Ruckus has to be touching you, with his leg of half sitting in your lap. He LOVES attention and is a huge love-bug.
