Basset Hound Breeders, Riverina - Murray Region NSW

Cayugaridge has been breeding basset hounds after competing in the hound ring for over 15 years with standard wire dachshunds and breeding American cocker spaniels for over 20 years in the USA. Our lines are based on imported American and European lines, as well as Australian lines from Beauchasseur basset hounds. We test all our dogs for key basset hound health issues including LaFora, POAG, severe autoimmune syndrome and thrombocytopaenia. We pride ourselves on great basset temperaments, type and correct movement. We've imported and added leading European lines to enhance our breeding program in 2025 with importation of both Van Grunsven and Grand Grades sires. In 2024, we showed the No. 1 leading breed point winner in NSW, our tricolour Fern, Ch Cayugaridge Chartreuse, and No.2 breed point earner in the nation, tricolour Fitz, Ch Cayugaridge Curacao. Our pretty red and white youngster Ch Dowjacs Bejamin Button AI was No. 1 rising star in NSW and No. 3 rising star nationally. In 2025, Ch Cayugaridge Chambord and Cayugaridge Camus in the top rising star and breed point earners, sired by our tricolour Curacao out of the Botanist. We have two litters planned in late 2025 with both Ch Cayugaridge Chartreuse and Ch Dowjac Miss Priscilla bred to our young sires, potentially delivered in late December. Our recent Fitz litter with Dotti aka Woodenhead Juliet has produced 11 llovely pups now sold. Next litter coming in December 2025.
