Ree Drummond has had a basset hound by her side since she was three years old.
"I've loved bassets all my life," Ree says. "Their excess skin, floppy ears, droopy eyes, and hilarious personalities keep me entertained and make my heart leap."
So it makes perfect sense that when she and her husband Ladd got their first dog as a married couple, they settled on the same adorable breed she had growing up. Now, the Drummonds have four basset hounds living at the ranch—plus two yellow-white Labs and a German shepherd. Talk about a full house!
These prized pups are some of Ree's favorite companions, whether she's hard at work or going for an evening stroll. Get to know the Drummond dogs below, and you'll see why they never fail to make Ree smile.
Walter
Age: 9
Breed: Basset hound
Nickname: Ol' Walter
Ree's oldest pup is also the most kindhearted, and can usually be found at The Lodge during tours. Be sure to give Walter a tummy rub if you see him!
Duke
Age: 6
Breed: Yellow Lab
Nickname: Dukie
Duke is the alpha dog of the group. As such, he's been known to chew up volleyballs—but he secretly loves nothing more than cuddling with his sidekick, Lucy.
Lucy
Age: 6
Breed: Yellow Lab
Nickname: Woocy
The only four-legged lady on the Drummond Ranch is a big sweetheart with an even bigger heart. This loving girl's natural habitat is on Paige's lap, or wherever Duke is napping.
Presley
Age: 4
Breed: German shepherd
Nickname: Presley-Boy
Presley is a loyal watchdog whose favorite post is by Ree's side—but he's devoted to all of his people.
Henry
Age: 2
Breed: Basset hound
Nickname: Uncle Festus, Schlumpers
This droopy-eyed dog joined the family after Ree's beloved Basset hound, Charlie, passed away. Since then, Henry has continued to delight the Drummonds with his playful and eager personality. (When he's not busy dozing on the couch, of course.)
Fred
Age: 1
Breed: Basset hound
Fun fact: He lives for sunset walks with his human siblings.
Don't be fooled by his sad eyes. Fred loves life on the ranch almost as much as he loves The Pioneer Woman dog treats.
Rusty
Age: 1
Breed: Basset hound
Fun fact: He smells like Fritos.
Rusty is an amateur model who specializes in filming slow-motion videos. His favorite place to be is snuggled up next to his brother, Fred.
