Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Bloodhound. My goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my phenomenal bloodlines but to help set the standard for responsible breeding practices to ensure that the Bloodhound can continue to healthily thrive for generations more to come!What makes your program special?
Bloodhounds are a passion of mine, and I am devoted to doing whatever I can to preserve, protect, and improve this incredible breed. As an AKC breeder of merit, my commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. Many of my dogs have become excellent show prospects and champions, but all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
