Who We Are

About Hilltop Basset Hounds

Basset Hounds at Hilltop Farm
Our Story

A Family Farm Rooted in the Ozarks

Hilltop Basset Hounds is operated by Sam Neutral and his wife, Rhonda Haden. Sam grew up on this very property, and together they have spent their adult lives here raising Charolais and Angus cattle.

What started simply with Rhonda getting a Basset Hound from a longtime local breeder has turned into a loving passion. The farm now maintains a small group of quality dogs, with Rhonda managing several litters each year.

Today we are proud to breed beautiful, loving Basset Hounds for families ready to welcome a new companion into their home.
