THE BLOODHOUND AND BREEDING

Personally, I do not know much about breeding. I was spayed when I was about a year old.  I won't ever know what it's like to have babies, which is okay with me, because I live with a bunch of them already.  Corey, 12...Eric, 8...Cassie 1.  They are lots of fun and that's good enough for me.  But, I remember where I was born and lived the first 9 weeks of my life.  I lived at Boxford Kennels and they bred Bloodhounds.  It's a lot of work raising little Bloodhounds.  They require special attention.  But, before the little pups are even "a thought", special attention has to be given to the pups parents. Bloodhound parents will have to be carefully chosen if the breeder desires a particular result of the pups.  For example, if a breeder desires a Red Bloodhound, then one or both of the parents should be the color of red. The size of the parents will play a role in the size of the pups.  It's the same when human parents have babies.  Their kids resemble them, as we do our parents. Get it? I also know that breeding Bloodhounds requires a lot of space...Not to mention how many DOG BONES and how much food all those Bloodhounds will need to have.  I do not want to speculate any further on breeding...because I do not know any more than that. Please research this topic carefully if this is something you are considering!
