Our sTORY

Humble Begining

 Our love for Bloodhounds began with our beloved Daisy Mae.  She was a present from Patty (Normand's wife). Normand took time off work to take intensive training courses and became a behaviorist,  tracker and trainer. 


Daisy Mae and Normand became the best tracking team in Indiana. People kept asking Normand to share the awesomeness so he decided to find the best mate possible for Daisy Mae.  


Sammy and Rex joined the pack and that is how the journey began.   Years later, Normand was contacted by Joyce Phares from Trail’s End Man Trailing Bloodhounds to start what is today Houndsarunning. 


 Joyce has over 45 years of experience in tracking/man-trailing, breeding and training bloodhounds.   Between both partners, Houndsarunning has over 70 years of experience  working with bloodhounds!

the Bloodhound

History

 

There is little known about Bloodhound origins, but some authorities say the breed was known around the ancient Mediterranean. In his “Historia Animalium,” the third-century scholar Aelian mentions a hound of unrivaled scenting powers, so intensely devoted to his work that he could not be pulled off the trail until his quarry was found. The Bloodhound, then, appears to be oldest extant hound that hunts by scent and is a contributor to the development of subsequent hound breeds.

Bloodhounds as we know them were perfected in Western Europe about a thousand years ago. Credit for the careful development of the breed goes to high-ranking members of the Pre-Reformation church. In medieval times, when even bishops rode to hounds, many prominent princes of the church maintained packs of hounds on the grounds of the well-funded monasteries of England and France. So careful were the monks charged with executing the bishop’s breeding program that their hounds came to be known as “blooded hounds” —“blooded” meaning “of aristocratic blood.”

During the centuries since, the noble Bloodhound has earned a reputation as a man-trailer without equal. Police departments around the world have relied on these muscular, single-minded hounds to follow the scent of humans—maybe a criminal, or a lost child, or a confused senior. An assignment might last all day and night, over hills and through swamps, but Bloodhounds won’t give up until they follow the trail to the end. Even in these days of high-technology, no scenting device yet invented is as accurate as the Bloodhound nose.

About the Bloodhound

 

Bloodhounds are large, substantial dogs standing 23 to 27 inches at the shoulder and weighing up to 110 pounds. Their most famous features are a long, wrinkled face with loose skin; huge, drooping ears; and warm, deep-set eyes that complete an expression of solemn dignity. Coat colors can be black and tan, liver and tan, or red. Powerful legs allow Bloodhounds to scent over miles of punishing terrain.

As pack dogs, Bloodhounds enjoy company, including other dogs and kids. They are easygoing, but their nose can sometimes lead them into trouble.  They should be in a fenced area at all times unless leashed. 

Obedience training is a must in order to raise an outstanding partner.
