Many years ago, we fell in love with the Bloodhound. After much research, we were very fortunate to have been put in contact with Sherry and Dick Duling, of Sherick’s Bloodhounds, which has been in exhistence for forty years. We appreciate their mentorship as they generously took the time with us and graciously taught us much of what we know about this wonderful breed! This hands-on learning process has been invaluable. This breed is constantly teaching us and we are always in awe of it as we continue to learn. We have such respect for the dogs and will, like all owners in this breed, continually be humbled by them!
We do not breed very often but when we do our goal is to produce sound dogs who conform to the AKC breed standard which allows them to excel on the trail and/or in the show ring! Many of our dogs have gone on to successful search & rescue careers which we are very proud of. Others have excelled in obedience too. Nonetheless, once they are born into the M&M family, they remain our family members who we love for life. We enjoy keeping in contact with their owners to know how they are doing even if they’re just enjoying life on the couch!
We are located in Charlotte, NC and our dogs are the most important aspect of our lives. Our dogs are family members who live in our home and are our constant companions. Life would be awfully empty without them!
We show as an extra activity to do with our dogs, but also to preserve the breed and its type according to the AKC breed standard. When time allows, which isn’t often enough for our liking, we do enjoy practicing in man-trailing. We feel the need to utilize the nose!
As members of the American Bloodhound Club, regional Bloodhound clubs and our local kennel club, we have signed a code of ethics in agreeance that we breed only if we feel we are truly contributing to the breed and not on demands or passing popularity of our breed. We carefully plan breedings far in advance and because of the dedication and hard work that goes into planning, any potential puppy buyers are thoroughly screened making sure that their puppy is for a lifetime commitment!
