The Basset Hound Club of Southern California, Inc. welcomes you to the wonderful world of basset hounds. As stated below our club was established to protect and promote this unique and wonderful breed of dogs. The membership of the BHCSC is very active in showing their dogs in AKC conformation events as well as other AKC sanctioned events. In addition we have a large number of pet owners who also enjoy having basset hounds as family members. We invite you to join us in our efforts and to become active in the club. One thing you'll find about basset hound club members is that they are as fun loving and friendly as the dogs. While some of us often compete against each other in the show ring we are still great friends.

UPCOMING BHCSC EVENTS
As
The information below has been included here by the webmaster because he has received emails and calls from several people who claim to have been scammed by one of these fraudulent websites. At least four said they lost a substancial amount of money to one of these scammers. Another breeder recently reported that two people who contacted hin regarding his litter told him that they had lost substancial amounts of money to a particular "basset hound breeder" on the Internet. The following wording is from an actual FBI warning that our webmaster received in an email.
This is STILL HAPPENING!
2025 BHCSC Meetings: Nothing Scheduled -
NOTE: There may be some basset hounds available from BHCSC Member Breeders
While the FBI Warning doesn't specifically mention fraudulent websites they do exist. I have found several on the Internet. Due to legal issues I cannot name them here but I can warn you to be very careful getting a puppy from anyone, especially if they want money up front. The guidelines provided by the FBI are a good starting point. Some of these "fraudsters" are very good at getting money from people.
NOTE: Please look at the FBI warning and additional information BELOW. There are fraudulent "breeders" on the Internet. People are losing substancial amounts of money to these people. Please don't be one of them.
October ????
BHCSC Fun Day
The webmaster is assuming that The BHCSC Fun Day will happen sometime in October but has received no information on this possibility. When he gets any updates they will be posted here
PLEASE NOTE: The BHCSC is looking for a new Webmaster.
