Adrianne (Adri) is the creative and strategic force at Black Moon Bassets. Her background in showing poultry and waterfowl gave her a strong foundation in genetics, structure, and the careful shaping of type over generations. Today, she combines that knowledge with a passion for vision and design. Adri oversees the kennel’s long-term breeding program while also guiding its social media presence, branding, and overall direction. Known as the ‘genetic guru,’ she has a sharp eye for pedigrees and pairings, but she is equally dedicated to telling the Black Moon story in a way that reflects both professionalism and heart. Adri’s blend of detail-driven planning and big-picture creativity ensures that the kennel continues to grow with purpose and presence.
