Serving Basset Hounds and the People They Own in the Pacific Northwest.

Welcome

To the Emerald Empire Basset Hound Fanciers web site. We hope that you will find our site both informative and enjoyable.  Our club was founded in 1985 by a hardworking group of Basset Hound enthusiasts who wanted an organization that promoted our favorite breed as well as all the events in which they can participate.Our clubs' objectives are as follows:

• To encourage and promote quality in the breed of purebred Basset Hounds and to do all possible to bring the breed's natural qualities to perfection;

• To urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which all Basset Hounds shall be judged;

• To do all in the club's power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows and performance events under the rules of the American Kennel Club;

• To conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows and performance events under the rules of the American Kennel Club.
