| This is my pride and joy, Clifford. He's the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! If he had to choose between a big juicy steak or a simple pat on the head, he'd pick the pat any day! Clifford has an outstanding 52 champions in his pedigree! He is the perfect example of the Appalachian Big Foot line. He is triple registered with AKC, CKC and NKC. |

| Let me introduce Copper. He's a gorgeous mahogany and is only 2 years old. He's super sweet and very energetic. I can't wait to see what he'll look like when he calms down and starts packing on the weight! He is triple registered with AKC, CKC and NKC. |

| The size of our basset hounds are within the AKC breed standard. At maturity, the male basset usually weighs between 55 and 60 pounds, and stands 12, to not more than 15 inches tall at the shoulder. The female is usually about 10 pounds lighter and 1 inch or so shorter than the male. If you are looking for a larger basset hound, please consult your veterinarian before making your decision. Basset Hounds that weigh over 60 pounds, are more likely to have joint problems, back injuries, arthritis, etc......conditions resulting from short little legs, being made to carry a massive weight. |

| I can't have a website, without mentioning my pooch Ricky! He's never been a daddy, but I felt that I should introduce him to you all any way. Ricky isn't a typical basset hound. He's fat, lazy, and likes to sleep a lot.......but there's other things that make him non-typical. Even though he's a male, he would like to be a mommy. Maybe it's because he's neutered, he doesn't have the crazy male hormones. He will lay with newborn puppies, lick them all over, and care for them like they're his own. He can't figure out why they won't nurse. I have to keep a close eye on him when it's time for the puppies to leave, because he will run away from home. Also, another thing that's unusual, Ricky has panic attacks. He's terrified of storms and will almost have a heart attack at the first sign of rain. Another little quirk that he has......he's scared of linoleum. He never had any problems with it, until he turned 4 years old. The last thing that I can think of, and it's hilarious.....Ricky's petrified of Shop-Vacs, even if they're not running! Maybe it's the long black hose that gives him the willies......I just don't know. But that's our Ricky. If you're a stranger that he's never met, he instantly loves you! He loves attention from new people. He'll even hop into strangers' vehicles and want to go for a ride! Ricky was born here, over 4 years ago, to Sadie and Clifford. You will see a lot of his photos throughout our website, because he always gets in front of the camera when I'm trying to take photos. |
