LYNSLUV Bassets is a dedicated breeding business founded by Lyn and her husband Gordon, rooted in their deep love for Basset Hounds that began nearly 30 years ago. The couple’s journey started with a gift of a male Basset Hound named Goliath, which ignited their passion for this unique breed. After years of living in a suburban environment, they relocated to a picturesque 80-acre property near Dublin in South Australia, where they created a haven for their beloved Basset Hounds. This idyllic setting, complete with uninhabited tidal beaches and expansive grasslands, allows the dogs to thrive in a natural and loving environment, embodying the essence of Basset paradise.
With decades of experience in dog showing, LYNSLUV Bassets has transitioned to a more relaxed approach, focusing on the joy of companionship rather than the competitive show ring. The business philosophy emphasizes breeding Basset Hounds that are not only true to type and sound of limb but also exceptional companions for families. Understanding that the majority of Basset puppies find their homes as beloved pets rather than show dogs, Lyn and Gordon have tailored their breeding practices to prioritize temperament, health, and the overall well-being of the dogs. They adhere to the F.C.I. standard for Basset Hounds and utilize the latest veterinary protocols to ensure that each puppy is brought into the world with the utmost care and love.
At LYNSLUV Bassets, the commitment to producing exceptional Basset Hounds is evident in every aspect of their breeding program. The couple’s hands-on approach allows them to spend quality time with their dogs, fostering strong bonds and ensuring that each Basset is well-socialized and ready for life in a loving home. Their dedication to the breed and the happiness of their dogs is reflected in the quality of the puppies they produce, which are known for their affectionate nature and suitability as family companions. Through their passion and expertise, Lyn and Gordon invite prospective owners to experience the joy of welcoming a LYNSLUV Basset into their lives, sharing their love for this remarkable breed with others.
