Basset Hound Dog Breeders

Looking for a Basset Hound breeder? Glossy websites and cute puppy photos make it hard to know what a kennel is really like. Pawthenticity is a nonprofit that collects public government inspection records into free, searchable breeder profiles, so you can see what inspectors found before you bring a Basset Hound home.

Pawthenticity tracks 28 licensed kennels that breed Basset Hounds. They average 83 dogs of all breeds, and the largest has 243. More than half (17 kennels, or 61%) have been cited by inspectors, for 150 citations in total. The kennels are in 9 states, mostly Missouri (10), Iowa (5), Kansas (4), Indiana (3) and Ohio (2). Hobby and unlicensed breeders aren't included.
