Our current adult basset hounds are all AKC Champions. Pam and I
both show them in conformation competition. They are also very
important members of our family. All of our basset hounds live with us in
our home and are our children.

We started out with pet quality basset hounds and enjoyed them very
much. As we got to know some of the bassets and the basset hound
breeders in Southern California, we got interested in showing our own.
The basset hound breeders in Southern California are a great group of
people.

Our first AKC Champion was CH. Shoefly's Bud Light. Buddy was a
wonderful basset hound with many of the qualities we liked in a basset
hound. As with most of the bassets from Andy and Sue Shoemaker at
Shoefly Bassets, Buddy had a fantastic temperament and a lot of what
many call "type." Unfortunately we never got any puppies from Buddy.

CH. Shoefly's Royal Moosehead was our second AKC Champion.
"Moose," had even more bone and "type" than Buddy along with a
fantastic temperament. We purchased Moose from Andy and Sue to be
the foundation of our line of basset hounds. He sired two litters for
Heather and Vogue Bassets and one for us. We now have his
grandchildren and great grandchildren. We couldn't ask for better
results than what we have had from his offspring. Moose was an
excellent foundation stud for our basset hounds.

The first AKC Champion female for us was CH. Vogue's Woebgon
Mountain Dew, "Mandy." We purchased her from Heather Simonek
because Mandy has a fantastic front and her attitude in the ring was
something that Moose lacked. We thought her qualities would be a
good addition to our line. While Mandy plays with her children and
grandchildren here at home, she still appears in the show ring at basset
hound "specialty shows" and loves showing off for the crowd. Her
progeny have inherited Mandy's great qualities.

We have several adult females are out of Moose. They are CH. Vogue's
Woebgon Bonnie Miss, "Bonnie," CH. Woebgon's Kickapoo Joy Juice,
"Joy," and CH. Woebgon's Moxie Original, "Moxie." Bonnie is a beautiful
basset hound. She is well liked by a lot of breeders. The judges liked
her as well. Bonnie finished her AKC Championship with four majors
before she turned one. In 2004, with Don showing her in Southern
California, Bonnie was the number thirteen basset hound in the country
and qualified for the AKC/Eukanuba Championship. Bonnie produced
some very special bassets for us. Three became AKC Champions. One
of her girls, Snow White, has produced AKC Champions as well. Joy
and Moxie are out of Moose and Mandy making them our first litter for
Woebgon Bassets. Joy was our first "home bred" AKC Champion. In
2007 Joy was the number seven basset hound, the number one female
shown by her breerer/owner and received an Award of Excillence at the
AKC/Eukanuba Championship Show in Long Beach, California. In 2008
she was Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed at the famous
Westminster Kennel Club Show in New York City. In 2009 Joy had a
litter of eight puppies. Two of her puppies are currently being shown.
Pam and Heather put all the points on Moxie. Moxie was the first basset
hound that Pam showed and got points on and they had their first win
under breeder/judge Jim White. Moxie finished her AKC Championship
and had a litter of nine. Two from her litter became AKC Champions.
One of them, Ch. Vogue's Cutie Pie, came to live with us after Heather
passed away.

We do not breed very many litters. Like most reputable breeders, our
reason for breeding is to establish our next generation of show dogs
and to improve the breed through breeding bassets that come close to
the AKC Basset Hound Standard as possible. The few basset hounds
we have made available for "pet homes" are very close to the AKC
Standard, but we can't keep them all. We may have puppies available
from Joy in late summer.
