Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Welcome Home Bassets located in Idaho. Basset puppies tend to be pretty low key, compared to other dog breeds. They are a daily day brightener and bring a smile to the face of everyone they meet! We live on 10 acres of land, and love having the wide open spaces to breath and live and roam, and raise Bassets, alongside our children.

Patrona’s experience

  • About Patrona

    These puppies are lovingly cared for from the 1st moment of conception. We support our mamas with a high quality diet year around. We provide them prenatals, and postnatals, and a good regime to promote healthy bodies and minds for them, and their offspring. I attend each birth and provide support and round the clock care from that day until you bring your new puppy home. A bit of our heart always accompanies each puppy home.

  • What makes Patrona’s program special

    Everyone needs to find a breeder and program they are comfortable with. That may be someone else, or it may be us. We wish to provide a place that you can trust, and know we care about the details and providing you a good experience as well as a companion for life!

More about Patrona

  • Why Patrona started breeding

    Ever Since we got married in 2010, we have been talking about a dream to raise Basset puppies, and provide high quality, while yet, affordable companions to other families. In the mean time friends got into providing that service to our area, so we held off on that to allow them that space without our interfering in their market. Recently they chose to retire, and we and have been thankful for their help, and mentoring, and we are SO enjoying this process, and Love our Dogs!
