Information
Bloodhounds are not for everyone.
Please read and consider the following:
- Bloodhounds must be in a fenced yard or kennel.
A loose bloodhound is a dead bloodhound. Once
that nose goes to the ground, it takes an act of
god to get his attention. If your gate is open,
the bloodhound will zip out at his earliest
convenience and be gone. You can yell all you
want but nothing will happen. The bloodhounds
nose is the biggest thing he has and the power
is always turned on.
- Bloodhounds will be generally inattentive to
you when he is outside his normal environment. If going for a walk with your dog is important to
you, you must realize that the bloodhound must
be on a leash at all times. (This will tend to
stretch one's arm).
*Bloodhounds have a lot of ambition. A
bloodhound is not the big, lazy, "sleeping on
the porch " dog you may have come to know.
Bloodhounds have just as much energy as most
terriers.
- Bloodhounds slobber at about the same rate as
a St. Bernard. Something under a gallon an hour
when excited, a little less when asleep. This is
a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much.
Following a drink of water, a bloodhound can
shake his head and get slobber on the second
floor of your home with little effort.
- Bloodhounds , all bloodhounds will trail as
this is what they were breed for. Some are
better than others. My trailing puppies are
picked very young, usually before their eyes are
open. These puppies are up using their noses
looking for me when I walk into the room. I will
grade puppies along with the help of other
breeders for pet and show. Pet puppies will be
sold on limited registration only!
