I'm the breeder behind Silverado Basset Hounds located in Arizona. We are experienced breeders, owners and handlers in the sport of purebred dogs and we take our role seriously. We keep a variety of factors in mind when reeding our dogs, including AKC Conformation titles, health and testing, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents. We breed sparingly and have a waiting list for future litters. A 2023 litter is expected at the end of December.
About Mimi and Jim
Jim and I have over eighty combined years in basset hounds. Our dogs are breeder / owner / handled to their AKC championships prior to breeding consideration. We have consistently produced Group winning, National Specialty winning and Specialty winning basset hounds since the early 1980’s. When our bassets go the homes, we are in contact with the owners for life.
What makes Mimi and Jim’s program special
We breed sparingly. We breed the best in our kennel - we health test for basset issues. We are confident that our puppies are healthy and sound.

Why Mimi and Jim started breeding
We started breeding bassets as a natural progression following showing our dogs to championship status. This was followed by becoming AKC judges and mentors of the breed. We have judged bassets at specialty and all-breed shows in many states in the US and at the BHCA National Specialty.
