COMPANIONS

The most rewarding aspect of my kennel is seeing my hounds go to loving homes, where they can become treasured members of their human families. Sometimes goofy, regularly amusing and always devoted, a basset is an ideal companion. This page highlights some of the Renaissance dogs who enthusiastically and lovingly fulfill their role as companions.
