The breeders on this page are a starting point. It is up to you to research, talk to various breeders, and find out just who is the breeder for you. Here is a great list of questions put together by Sandi Wittenburg of Red Bay Bassets, to guide you on your search.

1. How many litters of puppies has the breeder bred this year? (More than 2-3 is not good)

2. Are the sire and dam on the premises or available to see?

3. Were the sire and dam tested for genetic problems (glaucoma, VWD, etc.)

4. In a four generation pedigree, how many titled dogs are there? (should be 50% or more)

5. Does the breeder belong to the national breed club? (BHCA)

6. Does the breeder belong to a local breed club?

7. Does the breeder participate in or support rescue efforts for the breed?

8. Does the breeder sell pets ONLY on a spay/neuter contract?

9. Does the breeder insist on dogs being returned to him/her if a problem arises?

10. Does the breeder offer information and mentoring support throughout the life of the dog?

11. Does the breeder participate in ANY form of training/competition with their dogs (conformation, obedience, tracking, field, therapy etc.)?

12. At what age are the puppies sold? (less than 10 weeks is not acceptable)

13. Do the puppies have a vet's health certificate at the time of sale?
