Hi Dan,

This is Natalie with an update on Fred from Hazel Belle and Murphy’s May 28, 2021, litter. Fred has been living his best life in Canada and has brought me so much joy over the past 10 months. He is truly a beautiful dog with a wonderful personality. He is so sweet and affectionate and gets along with all dogs and humans. Fred generates a lot of attention wherever he goes and brings a smile to everyone who encounters him. It is never a dull moment with him as he never fails to make me laugh. He is full of personality. He is an excellent sleeper and has been from the beginning.

Fred is healthy & happy. His vet is very happy with his progress and size. I keep him active and he enjoys his walks in nature.

I look forward to my future with Fred as he is a blessing in my life. Thank you for bringing this sweet boy into my life.

Hi Dan, just wanted to let you know we got home safe on Thursday eve. The flight  was very bumpy, but we got back to SF finally, and our little girl was a champ all the way. United was great. You can take dog up to 20lbs on the flight with you in the cabin. The carrier worked and I followed your advice not to take her out in the airport. The guy that sat next to me on the flight let me know that on the Spotify app you can download soothing puppy music and heartbeats – and he put his phone up to her crate for the entire flight and it seemed to soothe her. We are so in love with her and her sweet, feisty self! Haven’t yet named her, but hoping to this weekend.

I just want to say thank you so much! I have had such a great experience working with you. It was wonderful coming to Indiana and seeing your dogs and the farm. I am sure I was a bit frazzled on Wednesday when we met…I haven’t had a puppy since I was a teenager, but she is amazing. Will keep you updated on her growth and our adventures! All the best,

Hi Dan,

We picked up the most adorable puppy from you back on January 29th. Our pup Walter, met his ACTUAL brother, Limoncello, on the street in the city of Chicago. It turns out that they go to the same dog daycare. I was picking him up one day and saw a pup that looked just like him and struck up a conversation with his owner. We quickly learned that Walter and Limoncello are brothers! They are from Cherry Belle & Gunther’s litter! We couldn’t believe the small world connection in the best way. They had the chance to play together at daycare today. I wanted to share this video with you to see how two of your pups connected! We cannot believe we found Walter’s brother. We are in love and obsessed. Thank you for all that you’ve done to bring some of the GREATEST dogs into our lives! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I have to say that Walter is probably the best puppy we’ve ever had. He is a dream – so smart, so loving, so loyal. I couldn’t mean this more – Walter is the sweetest puppy we’ve ever had. We are in awe of him and cannot imagine life without him, even though it has only been five months. Thank you so much for everything!

Hello,
You come highly recommended and I know first hand how awesome your Bassets are. My daughter, Megan purchased a female Basset, Sissy, from you 2 years ago this July. Sissy is WONDERFUL!!!!
Our family has raised 8 Bassets over the years. We currently have a 4 year old Lemon Basset named Norman and we are looking to add another female lemon to our family.

Recently I was introduced to Fred the basset on Instagram, originally from the U.S. and presently living in Canada. He stole my heart with his thick, lovable squishiness (what a magnificent young man! Basset perfection!) So I messaged his family to find out from where he originated. Low and beyond, he is from Sandyhill bassets! I currently have a lovely basset who makes me laugh every day and I can’t imagine life without one of these creatures. When the time comes and I am ready to add to the madness, Sandyhill will be my first call. Living in Ohio with Indiana an easy drive away (no shipping stress) makes it that much more appealing.

Hi Dan, as Boomer hits his stride I thought you might like to see some photos. He lives on the boat six months a year… he’s by far the best dog we’ve ever owned. 45lbs and holding steady. Loves the dog parks and swims a few times a week.

Say hello to Storm’in Norman!! I am so thankful and happy to have added this sweet boy to our family.. My experience with Sandyhill Bassets was top notch!! He has the funniest personality and always makes us laugh.

Hey Dan, thought you might like some updated pictures of Dottie. She is doing great and loves to go Kayaking! Cheers!

I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know how much we absolutely adore the basset we got from you, Jack London. Jack has such a sweet demeanor and is such a great family dog. I’ve included some pictures so you can see how’s he’s grown. Jack probably weighs about 45 lbs now. Some times he likes to help with the dishes, falls asleep with his bone in his mouth or steals my shoe, but we love him so much!! What a fantastic dog he is!

He is the BEST puppy I’ve ever had!!! He is totally potty trained & crate trained now. He gets along great with the other dogs. On top of that he is the funniest dog!!!

Back in November 2006 you handed me the best dog in the world. He was to be a gift for my wife though we weren’t married just yet back then. I remember picking him and you gave him a bath in your garage with a tip to bathe him in warm water like you would yourself. You looked at him after drying him off and said right before handing him to me that “He’s going to be a good dog.” We named him Primo and he ended up being the best dog we could have ever hoped for and more the past 14 years 3 months and 18 days.

Primo’s no longer here as we lost him 2 days ago on Feb 18th. We were lucky that we got to spend every day of the past year with him due to the COVID19 lockdowns. He was so smart. He knew how to untangle himself from obstacles while walking on a leash. He knew when one of us had come home without seeing or hearing us by scent alone. He was with us through 5 states and many stages of our life. He was so faithful and happy all the time. He was always so tough and was active until the very end.

My wife and I felt compelled to write to you to let you know how much he meant to us and thank you for bringing something so special into the world for us.

Thank you for the bottom of our hearts,
