Discover the Heart and Soul Behind Maple Farm Bassets

We are a small, family breeder nestled on a farm in Northeast Georgia. We chose Basset Hounds because of their peaceful disposition and good nature towards children. We got our first Basset as a puppy and she was the color of maple syrup, so we named her Maple. She is a delight to our family, and we wanted to be able to share this joy with other families, too. So Maple Farm Bassets was born!

We breed only high-quality, AKC-registered, 100% European Basset Hounds. Our Bassets are health tested and our puppies come with a health guarantee. If you would like to have your very own Basset puppy, check out our Available Puppies Page and Purchase a Puppy Page for all the details. We're so glad you're here! We would love to answer any questions you have. Feel free to drop us a line on our Contact Page. Whether you're looking for a puppy or just wanting to learn more about this amazing breed, we're happy to help!

What are some essential Basset Hound care tips?

Basset Hounds thrive in a nurturing environment. Ensure they receive regular exercise, a balanced diet, and regular vet check-ups. Their ears need regular cleaning to prevent infections, and don't forget that their gentle temperament loves the affection of their family. Socialization and training from an early age help them develop good behavior.

Is there anything I should know about Bassets?

Two things bassets love are their people and their food. They will gladly eat all day when given the chance. Therefore, it's important to give them measured amounts of food and daily walks. Because of their short legs, they aren't great swimmers. To keep a Basset safe, it's best to keep them away from water. While low-key and lovable, Bassets also have reputation for being stubborn. Proper training from an early age will help curb unwanted behaviors.

How do I properly train my Basset Hound?

Training should focus on positive reinforcement, as Basset Hounds respond best to kindness. Start with basic commands and gradually introduce more complex tasks. Frequent, short training sessions work best, along with integrating playtime to keep their attention.
