ABOUT CIRCLE H BASSET HOUNDS

Welcome to Circle H! My name is Stevy Hill and I'm so glad you are interested in our basset hounds! My husband Brett & I, along with our three kids: Jaxon, Cade. & Sophie strive to raise the best puppies around. We live on a cattle ranch nestled in the country, filled with cattle, our basset hounds, and porch cats (they are too lazy to be barn cats) as well as one very sweet old chocolate lab. I grew up with Bassets and have raised my children with them, and now we love sharing the joy they bring with our Circle H families.

Our dogs are born and raised in a warm, loving, cozy environment. They become accustomed to the noises of a busy home, are well socialized, and spoiled. Having healthy happy puppies is our number one goal! All our dogs are AKC registered and genetically tested before breeding, we offer a health guarantee on our puppies as well. We also keep our families updated frequently with photos and videos as they grow, you can also watch on our facebook page :https://www.facebook.com/circlehbassethounds. I will outline our policies below.

Placing our puppies & rights that go along with them.

We will occasionally grant breeding rights to other breeders that have the same standards of love and care that we do. We do not sell to pet stores, puppy brokers or puppy mills. If you are wanting full rights please fill out an application and introduce yourself and your kennel. AKC full registrations are an additional $2000 over pet price and are available at our discretion. All pet home puppies are not allowed to be bred or shown.

Adoption Processs

Our adoption process is pretty simple, all you need to do is fill our puppy application and make the $500 non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. All deposits are non refundable, and go towards the total of our puppy, it is not an additional fee. Please make sure you are ready for a puppy before placing the deposit should you change your mind the deposit is forfeited, there are no exceptions. Do not fill out an application if you have not talked to your partner/spouse/family or whoever needs to be in agreement. Don't waste my time as each application is seriously considered.

Puppies on the Available Puppy page may be reserved now. You can view upcoming litters and join a waiting list on our Upcoming Litters page.

The waiting list will make puppy picks when the puppies are four weeks old. Please have your picks ready when you are messaged. Should there not be a puppy you like when it's your turn you may pass to another litter. Your deposit is good for one year from the day you place it and transferable one time to a different litter unless the gender and color you want is not available then it can be transferred more than once. Should you pick a puppy and then change your mind, your deposit is forfeited.

I will send a text announcing the litters birth along with a group shot of the puppies within the first week of birth. At three weeks of age you will start receiving individual puppy pictures once a week, at four weeks picks will be made. You will continue to get weekly photos of your puppy as they grow.

Picks will be made via pictures and video., whichever you prefer. For the safety of our puppies and adult dogs we do not allow in person picking or visits. Germs and unvaccinated puppies just don't mix! Our dogs health comes first always, if you have an issue with this or any other policy then I am not the breeder for you and I wish you all the best as you continue with your search. My policies are strictly to keep my puppies safe and healthy. My dogs and puppies health come before anything else!

Deposit & Final Payment Methods

Deposits can be paid through Venmo, Cash App, credit or debit card. No other methods are accepted, no exceptions.

The remaining balance is due in cash (prefered) at pickup/ delivery, or with a credit or debit card 48 hours prior to pick up. No other methods will be accepted, no exceptions. Payments made with a card are subject to a 4% fee. We do not take Venmo or Cash App for final payment for any reason.

We do accept Afterpay for the final payment if you need to make payments. This will be sent through an email invoice. This is subject to afterpay approving you, and is nothing I can control. There is a 6% fee for this option.

Puppy Care & Going Home Information

All our puppies are dewormed every two weeks from two weeks of age, they are vet checked, and have age appropriate vaccinations done by our vet. They are thoroughly checked by our vet and leave with her health examination paper as well as an official health certificate. They all have a fecal test before they leave. Should any issue arise you will be informed and both myself and the buyer will have the opportunity to decide what is best for the puppy and the family.

All puppies have a microchip, and come with 30 days free insurance with Trupanion, a scented small blanket with littermates and mom's scent, toys and more!

Puppies leaving to a pet home leave with an AKC limited registration and spay/neuter contract. Only those with a full registration will leave with a full AKC paperwork.

Please make arrangements to pick up your new puppy as soon as possible to ensure you get the date and time you would like. Puppies will need to be picked up once they reach 8/9 weeks old, our pick up date is always listed. The actual day listed is the first day they are allowed to leave or are able to fly, should the day be during the week the weekend after pick up day is just fine, as well up to a week past that listed date. I do try my best to work with everyone's schedule but I ask that you also be respectful of my time and schedule as well. Should you require us to hold a puppy longer than one week past pick up a boarding fee will apply.

We have several options for getting your puppy to you. We are happy to meet you along your route to us, the most common is I40 around the town of Shawnee, Oklahoma City, Tulsa or we can meet you in another area depending on your route. We live in the middle of nowhere and want to help you not have quite so far of a drive.

We offer to meet buyers that are flying in at both Oklahoma City & Tulsa airports for no charge. We do not ship puppies cargo under any circumstance. we are not responsible for your travel expenses for any reason, all flights should be refundable or transferrable incase there is an issue where a puppy needs to stay longer or a personal emergency of your own.

We primarily place puppies in the United States, however we welcome our Canadian friends as well, but puppies must be driven over the border. Puppies flying into Canada must go cargo and we do not allow that. We do not sell puppies outside of the USA & Canada sadly due to international restrictions.

We offer delivery once per litter to the Dallas area for no cost. Deliveries to Wichita, KS is $150, Fort Smith, AR is $150, Joplin, MO $150, other locations can be discussed as well please contact us. All deliveries will be done at our convenience and as time allows, we are not always able to leave our dogs and cattle, please be mindful of this. All deliveries will be made by Circle H, not a delivery company. We can only meet or deliver a puppy within 3 hours of our home on most instances. Please contact us for more details!. You may call, text, or email us! Stevy Hill, circlehbassethounds@gmail.com, (580) 235-7391.

All puppies born at Circle H are a family member for life, if your circumstances should change they are always welcome back here at any age no questions asked, no refunds will be given. We do ask that should you no longer be able to care for your basset that you contact us first and do not take your puppy to a shelter.
