If you’ve ever locked eyes with a Basset Hound and felt your heart melt on the spot, you already know — there’s simply no resisting that soulful gaze, those impossibly long ears, and the gentle, unhurried way they move through the world. Whether you’re searching for a show-quality pup or a devoted family companion, finding a well-bred Basset Hound for sale from a reputable breeder makes all the difference in the world.
At Bedrock Bassets, we raise Basset Hounds the way they deserve to be raised — with champion bloodlines, early socialization, and enough love to last a lifetime. Our puppies aren’t just pets; they’re family members ready to claim the best spot on your couch.
Puppies Currently Available
Do you have an empty spot on your couch that needs filling? We have the perfect solution.
Egg Nog is a gorgeous mahogany and white female born January 17th, 2026, to Kate and Beau — two exceptional Bassets with outstanding temperaments. Champion-sired and absolutely stunning, Egg Nog is sweet, playful, and ready to take on the world. She recently started puppy class and excelled right out of the gate. At this stage, she has already passed the most challenging weeks of early puppyhood but is still very much a little butterball full of puppy charm. She is currently priced at $3,000, with pricing adjusted as her training progresses. Don’t miss your chance to bring home a puppy who is already thriving — apply today.
Exciting Litters on the Way
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming litter from two extraordinary parents. Champion Honeymoon’s Lita At Bedrock (Lita) and Champion Revolution & Beclove Colt Out West (Colt) welcomed a new litter on April 22, 2026. Both Lita and Colt carry impeccable show credentials and consistently produce puppies with excellent structure, temperament, and breed type.
We are currently accepting applications for both show prospects and beloved pet companions from this litter. If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to bring a quality Basset Hound puppy into your home, this is it.
Our waiting list is open — spaces fill quickly, so we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible to secure your place in line.
Show Puppies vs. Pet Puppies — What’s the Difference?
One of the most common questions we hear from prospective owners is: “What exactly is a show puppy, and do I need one?” The honest answer is that it depends entirely on your goals.
A show-quality puppy meets the breed standard closely enough that an experienced breeder believes the dog has real potential in the AKC conformation ring. These puppies are evaluated for correct structure, movement, coat, and overall type from an early age. They are typically sold with a show contract and breeder support throughout the dog’s career.
A pet-quality puppy from the same champion litter may have a minor cosmetic trait — a slightly off coat marking, for example — that disqualifies it from the ring but has absolutely zero effect on its health, temperament, or ability to be a wonderful companion. Many of our most beloved success stories involve pet-quality puppies who went on to become treasured therapy dogs, hiking partners, and irreplaceable members of their families.
Both types are raised identically here at Bedrock Bassets, with the same nutrition, veterinary care, and early enrichment. Our dogs deserve the best — and so do you.
Retired Bassets Available for Adoption
Occasionally, we place adult Basset Hounds with exceptional families seeking a calmer, already-trained companion. Several of our beloved mamas are approaching retirement this year and will be looking for their next chapter — a quiet home where they can be spoiled, loved, and cherished as the incredible dogs they are.
Adopting a retired Basset is a deeply rewarding experience. These dogs are fully house-trained, calm around children, and have spent their lives surrounded by people who love them. If you’re interested in welcoming a retired Basset into your home, please reach out through our application page for more information on availability.
