Have you tried the KC puppy sales register:

http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/asp/PSAR/psar-search.asp?breed=Basset+Hound&loc=4

 

There seems to be a litter on there that must be about 5 weeks at present. Otherwise, it'll be worth contacting the breed club (http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/asp/PSAR/psar-search.asp?breed=Basset+Hound&loc=4) which has a breeders section on the website.

 

I've just increased the size to help you see it!

I'd definitely go with the Kennel Club too- there are a lot of scams out there but KC are pretty reliable. Good luck. You could also try Basset Hound Rescue

ok - how about you alter your screen settings so you can see your own typing? (although you didn't have any trouble reading the replies by the looks of things )

 

Do you have previous experience of Basset Hounds or do you just like the look of them? They are notoriously difficult dogs to own, train and live with, and reputedly only suitable for those with a real affinity for the breed. I am a beagle owner - a hound with similar stubbornness and scent motivation, but the Basset just knocks the beagle into a cocked hat for being 'difficult'. They are only short, but they are big dogs, prone to back, eye and ear problems, besides the VERY doggy odour they emit!!!

 

If you are looking for a good breeder, get yourself to a suitable dog show - usually a champ show for a breed such as this which are a bit thin on the ground. Make sure you talk to a lot of breeders - that way you'll get to find out who's only in it for the money, who's suspected of puppy farming (yes, you can get KC reg'd puppy farmed pups ) and who really knows their stuff and bloodlines

 

Never phone anybody who's advertising in the newspapers or on the internet. Always make sure you know the 'reputation' of the person you're arranging to purchase a pup from - and make sure that the breeder has a lifetime returns policy - that way you know you're not lining the pockets of somebody who just doesn't care what happens to the rest of the litter!
