CHURCHIL is not a kennel . Our dogs are part of our family, in fact, they are our family. Established since 1979 we began our roots in mantrailing and only later after several years did we begin showing and breeding on a limited basis. Although our dogs have the run of the house always supervised some are loose at all times. We do feed everyone in their individual Giant crates and on occasion confined to their crates when we have a girlie in season and we need to closely monitor . At times we have hounds from birth to 12 years old. Some are retired show dogs some are just our pets present and retired. We show as a hobby and breed on a very limited basis according to the AKC Breed standard. We breed a litter with specific goals in mind and planned and not for the fad tendencies nor to fulfill puppy demands. Therefore, every placement is critical and are carefully screened for a lifetime commitment. Our goal generally is based on the bloodhounds future soundness, type, mantrailing ability, and their gentle, clownish nature. The new owner must be prepared for their intelligence, creative and destructive abilities, and desire for a well structured and consistent lifestyle.
CHURCHIL has enjoyed through the years great success in the show ring, on the trail, obedience , tracking and champion couch potatoes. We enjoy the show ring and testing the mantrailing abilities of each puppy born but most of all we enjoy daily life with our bloodhounds as companions. Our bloodhounds are family members first, the rest is added pleasure. We are very proud of our bloodhounds in what they are today, what they have been, and where they are headed and we always will be.

Please call or e-mail us 10 days after mailing your initial screening form and we can discuss whether you have been initially approved for placement and at that time discuss in detail what our plans are for puppies in the future. It takes a while to get to know prospective homes and both the prospective new home and myself must be sure about the decision. As I have said, each placement is critical for the well being of the Bloodhound and its new family.
Thankyou for your interest in the breed and in our lines........Michele
