| Bassbarr Bassets are delighted to announce that the first stage of their return to the UK is completed. In fact our first British born basset babies for more than eight years were born yesterday, 22 06 2010 in our new home at Broomfield Farm. The whole process of moving all our stock back to the UK will take a while, so at the moment we still have part of the team in Hungary. We look forward to meeting our basset friends, old and new , and to continuing tomake a contribution to the positive development of our wonderful breed. Broomfield Farm is about 20 minutes from the NEC, between Coleshill and Atherstone. Our phone numbers are 01827 721746 (UK landline) and 07587 103959 (UK mobile) |

During the last five years the Bassbarrs have been back in Europe, principally in Italy. We are now in South - East of Hungary, in the town of Ásotthalom. We hope to make a permanent home here, and live in peace and continue to strive to make a worthwhile contribution to the development of this splendid breed. Anyone wanting advice or help is most welcome to contact me. My opportunities to be present in the showring have been much reduced in recent years, for various reasons, but I am proud of the animals being shown by other kennels who keep the flag flying for us. We have a strong team of stud dogs, and a good group of bitches, and can usually offer a nice puppy, a promising youngster or just some useful advice to discerning enthusiasts. The little town of Ásotthalom is in the centre of a large protected forest in the south east of Hungary, not far from the bigger city Szeged.This is an environment where you can get back to basics, and be in harmony with your surroundings. Budapest is only two hours away, and there is an international airport there (Ferihegy). |

The Bassbarr Foundation was founded in Hungary in 2009 Over the years I have had the opportunity of helping several young people who had lost their way, for one reason or another, using the bassets and their freely given devotion as a therapeutic tool. Looking after animals is a daily responsibility, and a constant joy. Certainly it can be hard work, but the rewards are tangible. It is impossible to be in the company of basset hounds and not smile. They accept us in our most unlovable moods, and seem to have a sense of empathy for people who are suffering. I have seen many families become more functional following the addition of a basset hound to their home. |
