I'm the breeder behind ZephyrMoore Bassets located in Zephyrhills, FL. I am a very small hobby breeder of well bred Bassets - I adhere to good temperament and the breed standard. I am also a show home.
About Julie
I am the vice president of our local Basset breed club & belong to the national club BHCA. I have only bred 3 litters in 10 years. I believe in purposefully-bred litters only to better the breed. I show Basset Hounds in AKC dog shows.
What makes Julie’s program special
I adhere to the ethics standards of the BHCA and am always attempting to better the breed - as I have not had (until now) a bitch that was in my opinion "good enough" (from a conformation standard) to breed, I have not bred a litter in 6 years. I have two girls now who are special that I plan to breed in the near future.

Why Julie started breeding
I have had two Basset mentors and was given a show bitch of breeding age and acquired her from her breeder with the understanding that she would be bred and the puppies, if show quality, would be shown. I have relationships with all but one of my puppy owners.
