On February 8 of 2007, my beloved Sadie passed away.  She was my very first basset
hound, and the reason that I fell so deeply in love with the breed.  She only had 2 litters
during her lifetime, but she loved babies so much that she would nurse any abandoned
puppy or kitten.  If puppies were ever around, she would instantly start giving milk.

Her death was very unexpected.  Later, I found out about the major pet food recall,
which I had been feeding her one of the named brands.  I'll never know for sure what
caused her death, but it has certainly made me more aware of what we feed our pets.

Sadie was one of a kind, and will be dearly missed.
This is our lovable girl Ginger, also known to some of you as Doodle-Bug.  She is full of
life at 5 years of age, and loves to be the center of attention.  Ginger is also looney over
puppies!  Any and all puppies are HERS!!!  It doesn't matter how old they are, or who
they belong to, she will steal them and nurse them, which makes it hard for me when
she's wanting to nurse 10 week old puppies like they were newborns.

Ginger is a second generation Appalachian Basset and AKC registered with
58 AKC Champions in her pedigree!
This is our trouble maker Peanut.  She's 4 years old, and still as rowdy as a 3 month old!  There's
no fence that she can't scale (or plow through,) no food she can't steal, no room that can hold her.

Peanut is a half sister to Mader. She is AKC registered and has 68 AKC Champions in her pedigree.

This is our latest addition, Ham!  She was born here and is a 3rd generation
Appalachian Basset Hound!  
Ham is AKC registered and has numerous AKC Champions in her pedigree.
I have not combined her pedigree yet to get a count, but it's a lot!
