Prarielands Bloodhound Club Regional specialty & shows/trailing trial

We had a FABulous time in Bloomington, IL this year! Though both Visa & Little Bit ran excellent trails, their handlers called the cross runner and therefore they didn’t pass. We’ll keep at it and get those titles in the future.

Visa had one heck of a weekend! Congratulations to Visa on going Winners Dog/Best of Winners at the Prarielands Bloodhound Club Regional Specialty, under breeder judge Susan Hamil, to finish his championship! Visa is a young promising beautiful boy who we are so very proud of! He is so very well put together and a temperament you wish you could hand pick on them all. He loves all people, all dogs, just life in general and is a heck of a mantrailer as well. Love that boy!

Fingers crossed!

We are hoping for puppies this summer! We’ve done a breeding of our own with Later to London. We’ve also agreed to a co-breeding with Bayside Bloodhounds to be whelped here this summer. Wouldn’t you know both girls have cycled at the same time?! Such is life in dogs. 🙂

Behind The Hound weekend in Sugar Valley, GA

Our first annual Behind The Hound ‘weekend away’ was truly a BLAST! Thank you to John, Cathy, Paisley & Beau Houser for hosting as many of us that could make it. They opened their home and ALL of us (including the dogs) stayed comfortably in their home. They lined up trails and runners and truly did a beautiful job organizing such a fantastic weekend. I know we were all grateful!

The next day we were not able to make it to the shows b/c it snowed! The dogs had a great time here at home though playing in the snow. Even if it lasted just a short while 🙂

Mantrailing for New Years Eve

How better to ring in the new year than to do it with your mantrailing buddies?? We really enjoyed a get together of mantrailing and then new years eve at our house. A great time!! This was taken of Little Bit on some ID work we did when out training. Happy New Year!!

Xmas photo fun

So, we try to do a family Christmas photo every year. I think we’ve only missed one so far. Anyway, it’s quite an adventure to get one done. This year we decided to decorate. We had fun. Merry Christmas!!
