About Pricetige Hounds
With a background in the animal health industry and lifelong dog lovers, our journey with Pricetige Hounds began with the adoption of our first Basset, Gracie: she both introduced us to the challenges of the breed, whilst endowing us with the rewards through her loyalty, affection and trust. Based in rural Taranaki, New Zealand, we prioritize health, temperament, and early-stage socialization. Every dog in our care is a cherished family member and a 'pet' first and foremost. Thus ensuring that your future companion arrives with a sound foundation and is set up for success in their life.
