At Can-Oui Kennels we breed for health, soundness and fantastic temperaments. Our bloodlines include top winning lines from NZ, UK, Canada, Australia and Sweden from very well known & respected kennels which include Crufts Best of Breed winner for several years running, Grand Champions and FCI International/Multi Countries Champ. The results speak for themselves both in and out of the show ring! All our pups are home raised (in our home) with love and my full time attention.

A wonderful breed to be involved in, Basset Hounds are loving sociable easy care dogs that thrive in a family environment.

At Bayparque we strive to produce Bassets that are sound, healthy and have fabulous temperaments. We have incorporated into our kennel what we believe are some of the best Australian, American and NZ bloodlines. All of these kennels produce consistent winners in the show ring and amazing family companions. All our puppies are brought up in the house and are well socialised with cats and people. For a chat about this delightful breed, feel free to drop us a line or give us a call.

We currently have a litter of tri colour puppies that will be ready to go into their new homes before Christmas. The cost of our puppies is $3.500 and that includes registration, immunisation, micro-chipping and vet check prior to departure. We take great pride in breeding sound dogs, and as a result of this have had major wins in most Australian states, with our Kennel name appearing on many winning dogs throughout this country and overseas, which is something we are very proud of. Our pedigrees are of the highest standard and quality, with blood lines including dogs imported from the United States of America, England, and Ireland, and many of our animals living overseas. Some of our more recent successes include winning Best In Show at the Basset Hound National Show held in Victoria in November 2023, Best in Show at both the Qld and NSW Basset Hound Club Championship shows as well as Best of Breed at both shows held at the Brisbane Royal in 2024.
