Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Silvan Bassets located in Catlettsburg, KY. Our dogs excel in the ring and as beloved companions. We are very proud of their accomplishments and those of their puppies. Our breeding program stands out because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. From researching breeding pairs and conducting health testing, to purposefully raising each pup with proper socialization and care, our goal is to help preserve this historic breed.
