PLEASE NOTE THAT PUZZLE IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A RETIREMENT HOME! TAKE A MOMENT TO READ A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HER.

Puzzle is looking for a retirement home! please contact Jeremy Ward if you would like to discuss the possibility of having her as a pet. Old misery guts as Jeremy affectionately calls her is consistently at the head of the pack. She is the last of the draft hounds, and when she retires we will be hunting with a pack of hounds bred entirely by The Albany & West Lodge Bassets. She will be missed when she goes off to be a pet hound. Kindly sponsored by Lynn Parkinson.
Puzzle (2002)

The only remaining hound from the 2003 D litter, she has been given 10 out of 10 for her performance last season. Kindly sponsored by Jayne Kallika.
Domino (2003)

Thatchy has had an excellent year, she still keeps up with the young guns and displays superb casting skills at checks. Kindly sponsored by Jayne Kallika.
Thatcher (2005)

Truffle has found a retirement home. She was kindly sponsored by Claire Warren.
Truffle (2005)

Another fantastic season, Saddler is a real dominating force within the pack. He shows drive and intelligence coupled with unselfishness. Invaluable when trying to keep the pack together. Gorgeous in every way. Kindly sponsored by Mr & Mrs Riley.
Saddler (2005)

Trimble has retired while still at his working best, and has gone off to enjoy many years as a pet hound. He was kindly sponsored by Hilary Maddox
Trimble (2005)

'Pops' is very much one of the team, but has yet to show the star quality we think she is capable of We hope that having her son Toad out hunting with her this season may help as she appears to have been reluctant to leave him behind in kennels. Kindly sponsored by Brian & Lis Gould.
Poppy (2006)

Appearing fit and well again following an injury last season we are hoping that she will be back on her previous fine form for the 2009/2010 season. Kindly sponsored by the Lawrence Family.
Smudge (2007)

Bubble like her brother Bilbo had a superb first hunting season, never putting a foot wrong. It is great to know we have hounds of this calibre in the pack for many seasons to come. A very pretty hound. Kindly sponsored by Mrs E Brunner
Bubble (2008)

Bramble took longer to gain her confidence than litter mates Bilbo & Bubble, but has really started to enjoy herself. She is a great sprinter who is tremendously athletic. A happy little hound. Kindly sponsored by Brian & Lis Gould.
Bramble (2008)

Laurel had an excellent first season, never putting a foot wrong. Jeremy believes she may even show more promise than her mother, the legendary now retired Notice. Kindly sponsored by Pat & Charlie Brown.
Laurel (2008)

Lardy finally cracked the hunting lark during January 2009, and had some memorable hunts where she jockeyed for pole position with her dad Saddler. Fond of using her voice whenever possible it is a pity that she has - according to Jeremy - an appalling monotone voice which has the same volume and tone whatever she is doing. He still awards her ten out of ten. Kindly sponsored by Amanda Gilman.
Lardy (2008)

Bilbo has entered superbly well. He is a lovely quiet and gentle hound who is a delight to have in kennels. Like dad Saddler he is a beautiful looking hound. Rated ten out of ten for his performance during his first season. Kindly sponsored by Jo Harris.
Bilbo (2008)

Gecko has a stubborn streak, but is still making a nice steady progress from being a pup to a fully fledged working hound. Kindly jointly sponsored by David and Frances Drew & Sandy Grimwood.
Gecko (2009)

Google has entered the pack very well. She is a nice calm responsive hound in a very light frame. We are looking forward to seeing how she perfoms in the field. Kindly jointly sponsored by David and Frances Drew & Sandy Grimwood.
Google (2009)

Gumley is a very friendly and responsive hound. She has grown a little longer in the leg than we would ideally like, so she may be too fast a runner and upset the balance of the pack, but only when she starts hunting will we beable to tell! Gumley is kindly sponsored by Gill Doonan.
Gumley (2009)

A very athletic young hound, Pippin has not been easy to enter into the pack, being described as a space cadet by Jeremy! She and her brother Pogle had to remain on leads at shows as they are not as responsive as they need to be. Hopefully she will settle down when she gets to work. Kindly sponsored by Irenee Bowie.
Pippin (2009)

Pogle is a handsome athletic hound, but is a complete space cadet according to Jeremy, who is hoping that he becomes more responsive to both him and the senior members of the pack. Hopefully he will settle down and shape up as he matures. Kindly sponsored by Audrey Newton.
Pogle (2009)

Merry is one of our 3 pups waiting to enter the pack at the start of the 2010 season. Merry is kindly sponsored by Julia & Greg Farthing. 
 Merry (2010)

Mungo is the second member of our M litter to join the ranks of future working hounds. Happy in kennels awaiting the start of the 2010 season. Kindly sponsored by David and Anne Carter.
