Penny James

Penny James, a Basset hound and Beagle breeder in Polo, MO, serves northwest Missouri near Kansas City. She has more than a decade of experience working with scent hound lines, maintaining American Kennel Club registration, membership in the Basset Hound Club of America and conducting routine health screenings for hips, elbows and eyes.

Her dogs live in a home environment with daily socialization, spending time in well-maintained outdoor runs shaded by mature oaks and gentle training sessions to reinforce positive habits and confidence. Several of her hounds have earned leg points in regional field scent trials and often accompany the family to local community events. Raised on a family homestead surrounded by open pastures, each puppy is introduced to household sights, friendly livestock and varied terrain before joining new homes. Penny provides personalized guidance on diet, grooming schedules and ongoing enrichment to foster well-adjusted companions that blend seamlessly into family life.
