Meet the breeder
I'm Judy B., the breeder behind Bluegrass Bloodhounds located in Leitchfield, KY. We are a 30 acre family owned and operated training and breeding facility, located on the banks of Rough River in Central Kentucky. We produce high drive, problem-solving bloodhounds, available to domestic and international working homes and law enforcement.
Q. & A. with Judy
Why did you start breeding?
Edna Miller was the victim of a missing person's case back in 2001. This is rural Kentucky, there should have been a plethora of tracking dogs. My husband and I took it upon ourselves to provide the service to the community. Ms. Miller's disappearance and resulting death from a lack of resources changed my life forever. It is in her memory that we dedicate our service to strive in bringing the legend back to the Bluegrass.What makes your program special?
Before a canine is admitted into the breeding program, it must illustrate proper temperament and confirmation (according to the American Kennel Club's breed standard), be a working dog and have health clearances.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
