Bonnie’s Basset Ranch

Jim and Bonnie:

We could not be happier with our new little addition to the family.  He has been a great puppy and we have had very little accidents in the house.  Most of the time he wines just before he has to go to the bathroom, so we know to put him outside!!! We love him to death and could not thank y’all enough.

Thanks,

Janice Stalder

Bonnie-

I have been wanting to email you all week to THANK YOU so much for these wonderful babies. I will send you a photo soon of them with all of us. We have done everything as you instructed us. Samantha took them to the vet on Thursday and they could not say enough about their great health which shows what a terrific breeder (you two) they come from. Each weigh in at 12lbs. and are to be back to the vet on the 3rd of May.
They are truly loved here Bonnie.

Thank you-

Julie

Bonnie, here are the most recent pictures of Newt.  He has grown so much since we first got him.  I sent a picture of the first day we got him to compare to the most recent.  He is just a wonderful puppy.

Shadrach graduated Basic Obedience the week before Halloween, so he
dressed up for graduation! 

We are beginning him with the Kansas Search and Rescue organization soon.

Hey Bonnie and Jim,

T-Bone is doing great and we all love him so much!  We just got back from our vacation last night.  He traveled so well, we couldn’t believe it!  He is a little stubborn on his leash, most of the time we have to end up picking him up to move him.  I think with time, he’ll grow out of that!  He is doing pretty well with his house training.  He has never pooped on the floor yet and today will make a week that he’s been with us!  We are blessed to have him, he is going to be a wonderful companion for us.  Everyone has loved him, my mother even says she wants a bassett!  I will keep sending updates on him and will send a picture of him a little later on.  Thanks again for helping us find him, he’s one in a million!

This is Joe S. from Wagoner, Oklahoma.  Thank you for following through with the purchase of “Miss Bailey”.  That is the name my six year old daughter picked out for her.  She is doing well and we are proud to be her owners.

We will be in touch in the future.  If you have any red and white puppies please e-mail us a photot.

Thanks!
Joe

Hi Jim and Bonnie.

I wanted you to meet Howard. It took us 4 days to name him. Everyone
liked something different. But I think we are all pleased to finally be able to call him something other than puppy. He is doing great. However he urinates more that any dog I have ever seen. I don’t know where he holds it all! Beginning to do well going outside, but still loves to mess up the carpet as well. I don’t think that will last too much longer. He is still quite lonely in his cage at night. Do you have any suggestions for making him more comfortable?

Could you also please send me a picture of his mom and dad. I know Bonnie
you tried but it never came through. You can send it to me at work if you
like.

I will send you more photos of Howard as he begins to grow.

Thanks again.

Hi!

Long time no hear, huh.  I thought I would send you some pictures of our Baby Girl Mattie at almost 11 weeks of age.

Hope you like the pictures.  Keep in touch!

Hey Bonnie…

Here are some pics of Jahmmin-

He’s doing great, we love him dearly.

For all you Murdy fans, Staci bought him a new Bumble Bee Sweater. He Looks GREAT!!!

Bonnie~

Here are some pictures of Annie and Bella. Mama says it’s okay if you want to put them on your web page with Murdy. Ha.

We ordered the little “pup” tents out of a magazine and you can see that Bella really likes hers. They are loads of fun and sweet sweet sweet! Thanks for everything.

More pictures later!

duke is doing great. he is quite a water dog. loves to get into the pool. will jump in as you can see on one of the photos. he and dixie have a great time although at times he drives her crazy. i think she was depressed for a while after we got duke home. it looked like she was saying ok he can leave now. but now i think she is happy to have the company. duke is a little rough with her sometimes. he pulls on her ears and she must have a lot of patience because she rarely snaps at him to make him stop what do you think of dixie. i think they will have good pups if and when we breed. she is great. she has a very pleasing personality and is very lovable. her favorite place is in the recliner sitting on my lap.

hope you enjoy the pictures

Hi Bon
Thanks for the kind words about the CD. I’m happy you enjoyed it.  This little hound dog is great.  We gave him a visit to the vet and she said he is in great shape, weighs 17 lbs. He and the other one we already have get along great. He has a very sweet personality and his ears are awesome. Hope all is well with you guys. Oh yeah, we named him “Reggie”
Take Care

Hello,
We are very proud of our new little girl. The whole family adores her !! Thanks so much.
God Bless,
Julie

Folks,

Thanks so much for the little puppy. He is very handsome and well mannered. My older female basset hound is becoming fond of him. I am surprised how big he is, especially those paws. I believe he will be a big one some day. He sleeps with me and the other dog and uses the doggy door already. Very smart indeed this boy. I have named him Samson, a strong, passionate and heroic reputation for him to live up to. My mother, a life long Basset Hound owner, loves him and of course has bought every toy, treat and specialized food you can imagine. The house looks like Pets Mart. And as you would guess, his favorite things are an old shoe and chasing his older sister in the yard.

Have a great day and I will send you more updates soon.

Steve

Jim,

Fred is a great puppy, you and Bonnie are doing a great job with your basset’s. I’m glad, I accidently found your web site on my search engine. I will let you know when I am ready for another puppy with the same quality from a different bloodline. Thanks for everything. Eula

Hi, sorry I’m just now responding – it’s been a busy week so far!. Daphne is doing fine. Saturday morning was a little rough because she was missing her mom and siblings and whimpering and whining a lot. We took her with us Saturday to pick up Hobbs at the vet. I was planning to stay outside and let him meet her away from home (I heard somewhere that you want the old dog to meet the new dog away from the house so he won’t feel threatened and like his territory is being invaded – ha!). Well, they insisted that I bring her in so they could all check her out and needless to say, they thought she was adorable. Our vet started snapping pictures (he’s a big picture taker) of her and of Hobbs meeting her. We took her back to the vet on Wednesday with your shot schedule. I guess every vet has their own opinion, so he is using the shot you gave her the first part of April to go by and he’s not going to give her her next one for a couple of weeks. He says they are really too young before age 8 weeks for any of the shots to do much good, but that breeders tend to give them early to cover all the bases. Anyway, he gave her her first heartworm medicine and a fecal test. As if you didn’t know, she didn’t have any worms. Hobbs really likes her, but you were right, he is definitely too rough right now. We let them play with each other a little while (usually with me holding onto his collar) and then we will put her in our big open metal crate while he’s in the house and they sit there and bark at and taunt each other through the bars! Daphne definitely has a high opinion of her ferociousness! But she is doing great, pooping and peeing everywhere!. I’ll try to send some pictures when we get some developed. Talk to you soon, Betsy.
