I'm Liz S., the breeder behind Oldtown Hounds & Pointers located in Ohio. I breed and raise black and tan Coonhounds & Pointers. Breeding to the standard is my priority. I want to make sure that as a breeder, I am doing everything in my power to give each and every dog and pup the ability to reach their full potential.
