Our Blue Bassets!!
The history behind Peaceful Valley's Blue Basset Hounds
I adopted a gorgeous basset hound from the same breeder I got my very first basset hound from.
I was so curious about why this particular basset hound had beautiful light amber colored eyes and bluish grey hairs where her black ones would normally be.
This girl's name is Peaceful Valley's Bella! I genetic test my dogs and when I genetic tested Bella,
I found the culprit for her interesting and gorgeous coloring.
She was in fact a "Blue Tri" basset hound!! This is a tri-color basset hound with a double copy of the the blue dilute gene on the D- Locus. After finding this rarity, I began my search for other blue basset hounds across America.
I found a total of three blue basset hound breeders.
I began chatting with the owner of Baggy Bassets, she has been breeding the blue bassets for years! After countless hours of talking and learning, I decided to join her in breeding high quality, healthy blue basset hound puppies.
Our Blue Bella
Bella is the matriarch of our blue basset hounds. She is a blue tri color basset who also carries the mahogany color. This can be seen in the rich mahogany around her mask and down onto her ears. Bella is a calm, sweet girl who loves to cuddle. Bella can be found cuddling and snuggling her puppies often. When she isn't cuddling her puppies, she can be found snuggling on the couch with me or my daughter!! Bella has been genetic tested for over two hundred health issues.
Our Blue Carrier Khal Drogo
Drogo is the patriarch of our entire breeding program. Drogo is a red and white basset hound. He carries one copy of the blue dilute gene, so he does not express the blue trait physically. This makes Drogo a very unique boy. He can produce both blue dilute and standard coat puppies depending on who he is paired with. Drogo came to us from Baggy Bassets in Show Low Arizona. Drogo is dually registered with both the AKC and the CKC. He is sixty two percent European Basset Hound and thirty eight percent American Basset Hound, this means that he passes on many of the classic traits of the European Basset Hounds while also enjoying the health benefits of the American Basset Hounds. Drogo can be found running and playing or snuggling under my legs while napping. Drogo has been genetic tested for over two hundred health issues.
