Corkey Bassets

Corkey Bassets is a Basset Hound breeder in Christiansburg, VA, serving Montgomery County and the New River Valley near Roanoke.

With more than 15 years of experience and membership in the American Kennel Club, it follows breed-specific health testing protocols for hips, eyes and cardiac screening, with results shared with prospective families. Pups are raised in the family home where they mingle with guests and children from an early age, and daily outdoor time in spacious fenced yards helps nurture their natural curiosity. The kennel offers a small barn and covered run where older dogs get light exercise and exposure to gentle farm sounds.

Nancy Corkey’s family-run kennel emphasizes gentle handling and consistent routines to support well-balanced temperaments. Past litters have earned conformation awards on the regional show circuit, reflecting careful breeding decisions and attention to breed standards. Many families note how quickly their basset hound settles into home life and appreciate the ongoing guidance Corkey Bassets provides on puppy care.
