We got started in taking care of puppies about 13 years ago.When my husband and I first met 17 years ago, he bought me a Cocker Spaniel from the Humane Society.We had him 12 years before we had to put him to sleep.His name was Felix.When we had Felix we just loved his temperment and the way he played with other kids and animals.Felix had a friend his name was Jake.Jake was a Basset Hound.When they were together it was so much fun to watch Jake try to keep up with Felix.They were the best of friends.That's how we decided on wanting to raise Basset Hound Puppies.
