I'm the breeder behind The Kennels at Tate Farm located in Hattiesburg, MS. We commit ourselves to preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence! We live on a small family farm in South Hattiesburg.
About Christy & Eric
Eric is a full time carpenter and electrician by trade, and I was a stay at home mom of three. Once our children grew up and out of our home, we decided to live out a long time dream and build a large family home on a mini farm. We have always had the heart for farming, growing, building, and most importantly, watching our family enjoy the beautiful land that God has blessed the Earth. Quickly into our new adventure, we realized the need for farm dogs. Hazel and Tua, the beautiful Bassets, joined our family after many years of searching. We fell in love with our duo and decided to share our love with other families that want to add this precious breed to their families!
