Hope is a big, beautiful and typey bitch who has added a lot to our breeding program. From her first litter of six puppies, she produced our Nolan who is a multiple year top twenty ranked Bloodhound. Though the other puppies did not end up in show homes they are also very beautiful and one is a certified working K9 officer. In her second litter (a complete outcross) she produced a litter of 12 puppies, of which there are now multiple champions, including a best of breed winner at the World Dog Show 2008, another multiple year top twenty ranked Bloodhound, and multiple working dogs from this litter also. She is now retired from the whelping box and enjoying life at home in Kansas.  We are enjoying seeing her characteristics come through in her grandkids. Price, our boy from Nolan/Zoe, resembles her in mannerisms and expressions. Blossom, Price’s sister, is very similar in stature and also in characteristics to Hope. She has a carefree, easy going personality and not much bothers Hopey. She too is an easy keeper and requires very little work to maintain her. Though she lives in Kansas full time (Sherick’s Bloodhounds) we get to see her from time to time and enjoy our visits!
