KRC Ozark Mountain Bloodhounds

Q. & A. with Kevin and Renee

• Why did you start breeding?

  We both grew up with hounds as children and we decided we wanted a bloodhound puppy to raise together 10 years ago. We fell in love with the breed and wanted to help better the breed by health testing and doing what we could to prevent genetic diseases. We began our search for our sir and Dame and that's where it all started.

• What makes your program special?

  We are state and federally licensed. We screen all potential puppy parents as we want what's best for both. We whelp our litters right in our livingroom and puppies are handled by us from day one. I also help supplement the puppies as bloodhounds tend to have lrg litters. We use goats milk for all supplementing and in their mush up till 4 weeks old. We use the puppy culture as a guide. We work to begin potty box training around 3 weeks old and then at 6 weeks old puppies begin training to use the doggie door to their outside play area. We deworm every 2 weeks and give 1st vaccines at 6 weeks old. We microchip with the Nano microchips. We are here for the lifetime of your puppy and if life changes happen puppy will come back to us. We give a year health guarantee for anything genetic excluding eyes as eyes can be a huge issues with bloodhounds and also bloat. We feed high quality food to our puppies and adults snd momma receives daily vitamins during pregnancy and up to weaning. We work to certify our dogs with AMPWDA for SAR.
