Hello!!  I wanted to write to say thank you again for the puppies we purchased from you last year!  Lilly and Georgia are a big part of our family and frequently sleep with our 3 year old and 20 month old at nap time.  They are great dogs and a favorite at our local vet!  They are perfect dogs!  You are a credit to reputable breeders everywhere!

 Hello! Pearl is 11 months old now and the sunshine of our lives!  Looking back at your website we see she looks just like Winchester Buckshot.  Pearl has become a canine-assist therapy dog. We visit local groups homes and the domestic violence shelter and help folks out.  You can see photos of Pearl at work at: caninetherapyprograms.com  Just click on  the most recent photo album. She's the beautiful tri-color.

We have purchased 2 dogs from you guys! Cooper who is from the July 2008 liter and recently Memphis from the Sept 2009 liter! We LOVE them so much and they are such a big part of our family! Cooper weighs in at 76 pounds and Memphis is growing so fast at 28 pounds but she still looks so small compared to Cooper! Keep up the great work with your liters! If I could handle more than 2 dogs I would get another! THANKS again!

Amy and Joe -- 

We do NOT know where to begin!  Our lives and hearts have been changed forever since we brought our "Hattie" home.  She is the newest addition of Southern Belle's here in Georgia . . and she truly is a princess.  Not only is she dreamy gorgeous, she is dreamily happy, joyful, playful, and the most affectionate puppy we could have ever imagined finding.  The children adore her . . and we can't get enough of her.  It is so mutual, that both her favorite spot and ours, is when she's on our shoulder resting her head!  Thank you so much, for who you are, and what you stand for in raising these loving bassets!  Your standard raises the bar for all breeders in so many ways.  We are blessed to know you, and to have the privilage of owning one of your puppies. We will stay in touch and send pictures soon!!  Thank you again so much!!

I PURCHASED MY HOLLY NOEL ON DECEMBER 30, 2008.  SHE IS THE SWEETEST LITTLE DOG I HAVE EVER SEEN.  I TOOK HER FOR HER FIRST CHECKUP, AND THE VET WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THE CARE THAT JOE AND AMY GIVE THEIR BABIES.  HE SAID THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT OTHER BREEDERS DO AS FAR AS THEIR SHOTS, WORMING, AND GENERAL HEALTH CARE OF THEIR PUPPIES.  HE SAID IF OTHER BREEDERS TOOK AS MUCH CARE AS THE WHISNANT'S THERE WOULDN'T BE MANY SICK AND UNWANTED DOGS.  HE  WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THE QUALITY OF MY PUP, HE EVEN OFFERED TO TAKE HER IF I EVER NEEDED TO FIND HER A HOME.  (THAT WOULD NEVER, EVER HAPPEN).  TO ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT BUYING A BASSET PUPPY,  THE WHISNANT'S ARE THE ONLY PLACE IN MY OPINION, TO PURCHASE ONE FROM.  YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  I AM THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A MALE FROM THEM MAYBE LATER IN THE YEAR AFTER MY HOLLY NOEL IS SPAYED.

I got my Maggie May on 1-6-09, had her only one week and she is the new princess of Pawleys Island. The most loving and sweetest puppy I have ever had ,or seen for that matter. Can't go wrong with any dog purchased here. Joe and Amy have been helpful in every aspect of purchasing her. Wish I had more room for another one.

First of all, I want to say that this site is amazing! We had a rescue basset hound for a short time and I had to give him up. I think he was a one owner dog and we are a family. I found your site on a Google search. We are considering raising a puppy. I had gotten quite attached to our doggy while we fostered him and I just sat here and had a good cry. I think I have fallen in love with the breed . Look for future emails from me. I was delighted to find your site. It looks like you LOVE what you do. I think we would get a pup who has a lot of love to give.

Our hearts are full of joy again!  After losing our sweet Odie earlier this year, we found the Whisnants and their wonderful family of bassets and brought home Ringo.  We have had Ringo for almost two weeks and can hardly remember time without him!  He is the sweetest and most lovable little basset!  He has been happy since the moment we laid eyes on him.  He spends all his time snuggling and playing (hide the shoes!).  Thank you so much Joe and Amy Whisnant for bringing joy back to our home again and to the Whisnant children for playing with Ringo and sending him with such a wonderful personality!  The Brocks, Jim, Debbie, Cole, Paige and Haley

Whisnant family I just want you to know you guys are the greatest! For anyone that is considering getting a new family member this is the place! The Whisnant's take care and love their bassets. We got to bring our Ellie Mae home March 8th and she is just the most beautiful little basset I have ever seen. She has brought so much love and fun into our home. Along with Ellie Mae we do have a beagle and a shar-pei and they just love her as well! After viewing this site and through contacting the Whisnant family via emails, I had no doubt this was the place to get our new family member. Thanks for everything Whisnant family!

She had her first vet visit with us today with no issues. And we are very happy with the housebreaking - she is doing very well. We will probably be looking for Bucca's sister in the spring time. Happy New Year, Kristen and Matt

thank you guys so much this was one of the best decision we made coming down there.  Our son has a shadow named Duke and they are inseperable.  Duke was taken for his first set of shots last december and now he weighs 15.1 pounds and the vet said he is just the right weight for how much he is growing.  the only down fall i have had is trying to get our son to eat his own food without trying to share it with duke.  thank you again have a great new year!
