Meet the breeder
I'm Audrey H., the breeder behind Stout-Hearted Hounds located in Sacramento, CA. My goal as a breeder is to produce dogs that not only meet the historical legacy of their breed but that can also live long and healthy lives as companions in the home. All of my dogs live in my home as beloved pets first and foremost, and on the weekends we enjoy spending time together outdoors - be it racing, hunting, showing, or just enjoying a romp at the beach.
Q. & A. with Audrey
Why did you start breeding?
I bred my first (and probably the country's first) litter of Magyar Agár puppies in 2011, and my first litter of Greyhounds in 2019. As of this writing (2025) I am currently enjoying my fourth generation of bred-by dogs.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is focused on producing dogs that are true to the cultural heritage and original function of the breed. At the same time, I aim to produce dogs who are not only healthy and long-lived but who also make wonderful family companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Epona
Epona, or just Pona for short, is my keeper puppy from the second American-born Hungarian Greyhound litter co-bred with Tűzvihar Hounds. Picking a puppy from a litter is rarely an easy decision, but Pona had my heart from the very beginning. At home, Pona is an absolute joy to live with. She loves making friends with new people and new dogs, and she never fails to offer a big toothy grin when her bestest friends come to see her. She is kind and affectionate to her loved ones; always showering them with kisses and hugs. When she's not busy chasing squirrels in the backyard she enjoys plenty of down time on the sofa. She finished her sprint racing championship in her first two seasons of racing, and was ranked Number 1 LGRA Magyar Agar three years in a row (2018, 2019, 2020). She was High Score in Meet at our 2019 NAMAA National Specialty race meet, defeating nine other dogs (our largest entry to date), and repeated her win at the 2020 NAMAA National Specialty, where she also became the first MA in LGRA history to finish the Supreme Gazehound Racing Championship (SGRC). Her first season lure coursing she earned her UKC Coursing Tested degree and a Best in Field in her first trial! She then went on to finish her UKC Breed Coursing Championship title in May of 2019. In the summer of 2022, I decided to take Pona back into the UKC show ring to see if she could finish her bench Championship, and to my surprise, she did it! She is now a UKC dual Champion, and although it's not an officially recognized title, I am very proud that she was able to achieve both.

About Risë
Risë is my keeper puppy from my 2020 litter. She is a Magyar Agar (i.e. Hungarian Greyhound - Good Dog does not have this breed in their list); her mother was imported directly from Hungary and her father was born here in the United States. Risë is my snuggly noodle girl who loves to cuddle under the covers and sunbathe out on the patio (when she isn't busy chasing the squirrels away from the yard). She has the same deep, baritone voice of her grandma Patti, which she loves to greet me with when she's happy or feeling playful. Risë is a triple champion, holding titles in Conformation, Lure Coursing, and Sprint Racing.

About Bonnie
Bonnie is my wild child. I have never known a dog who is as full of life as she is - and who lives every day to its fullest. She loves nothing more than to stretch her legs and run, or to go for a dip in our local swimming hole. She is the life of the party, and even at almost 6 years old, she is so young at heart. This girl is my heart and soul!
