Q. & A. with Sherry

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband Dick, purchased our first bloodhound while we were engaged. One evening, Dick asked me if I would like to have a bloodhound. Little did I know he had been visiting Crandall’s Bloodhound Kennel, in Western Kansas, when he was in the area for his job. Now I loved hounds or any kind of animal, especially dogs. I also loved things clean and shiny. The change from a poodle to a big messy Bloodhound would change my life ways I could not imagine. We agreed that he would not bring home the puppy he had fallen in love with, but he got the puppy anyway. This puppy was our much loved Boomer, who made friends no matter where he went. He was the foundation of what was to become Sherick’s Bloodhounds.
  • What makes your program special?

    From the beginning, our dogs have been family members. We did not believe in keeping them in kennel runs but felt they needed a spacious area like a backyard where they could run, play, and be happy. To this day, they sleep and eat in the house. We always felt that a bloodhound should be able to do it all. Following the vow we made when getting into breeding, we bred for beauty, brains, and man trailing ability. As concerned breeders, we do not breed a litter purely on puppy demands and passing fads. Each litter is bred only after careful planning and consideration.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
