Paradise River Kennel

Paradise River Kennel, Basset hound, Memphis, MO, in Northeast Missouri near Kansas City, nurtures dogs born on a family-owned homestead. Owner Earl Martin has bred and shown Basset hounds for over 15 years, holds membership with the American Kennel Club and ensures parents undergo hip and eye evaluations. All adult dogs have regular veterinary checkups, and each puppy receives age-appropriate vaccinations and health examinations before joining new homes.

Puppies live indoors with the family, enjoying daily socialization with children, other dogs and common household sounds. The kennel’s routine includes gentle handling, early crate familiarization and supervised outdoor play in secure pastures. Each litter benefits from on-site training for basic commands and exposure to different surfaces and noises to foster confidence. The kennel works closely with a local veterinarian in Memphis to support nutrition, wellness exams and specialized care.
