Default Finding a reputable breeder

We have been trying to find a reputable breeder online in Virginia or North Carolina and not having a lot of luck. I feel like I spend every evening researching but to no avail. I have found a couple of places that are within a days drive but have not had a good feeling about them after talking to them.

Does anyone have any suggestions of reputable breeders? We are in southeast Virginia (the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area).

Thank you

I'm guessing you've already checked the Basset Hound Club of America website and your local Basset club?

What you might want to try is attending some shows in your area and meeting the owners/breeders there. Even if they don't have pups they might be able to recommend someone.

I asked a friend that’s a breeder if she knew of any – she said Melina Brown of Saranade Bassets in Virginia will be breeding this month for puppies in March and that you can find her on the BHCA website.

When you get your puppy – please come on back with lots of photos

Newton'sdad.....That would be great. I have been surprised at what a hard time we are having finding a basset. Hopefully we will find the right baby to join our family soon.
