Our Bassets
Our Basset Hounds
Our current adult basset hounds are all AKC Champions. Pam and I
both show them in conformation competition along with our
co-breeders. They are also very important members of our family. All of
our basset hounds live with us in our home and are our children. All are
co-owned with Heather and Joan Simonek of Vogue Bassets. Heather
and Joan help us with the showing duties and work with us on our
breeding program.

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 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. 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. M
ore recently Joy
had a litter of eight puppies. 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. We hope
to have at least one more litter from Joy.

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" were are very close to the AKC
Standard as well, but we can't keep them all. W
e may have puppies
available in late spring.

It is our custom at Woebgon Bassets that the boy's names
are beers and the girl's names are soft drinks.
