Meet "Ch Cline's Creek Fly Me To The Moon" MT (Picard)

 Picard was our first pick male from his litter.  He has tons of prey and hunt drive, is naturally fearless, is stable no matter what we throw at him, is extremely social, is athletic, is structurally correct, and loves people.  Did I mention athletic?  He swims, he dives, he can jump from a sitting position, he can catch a ball thrown mid-air (very uncommon in this breed lol).  This boy is the epitome of the bloodhound standard...a powerful hound.  I LOVE this dog.  He is exactly what we needed for our program!

Picard has earned his MT title (mantrailing - 1/2 mile, aged 4 hours).  

Picard stands 26" tall and weighs 113 lbs.  Picard is DM Normal, Cardiac Normal, Hips Good, and Elbows Normal.  Chic #131365

 

Meet "Hansen's Koda on the Loose" (Koda)




Koda was our pick pup from Zeus and Ellie's 2015 litter.  As a requirement for all of our pups, she has tons of prey and hunt drive, is naturally fearless, is mentally stable, is extremely social, is structurally correct, and loves people.  Koda is 24" tall and weighs 84 lbs.  DM normal, thyroid normal, hips, elbows, and heart clearances are within normal limits and can be seen on OFFA.org.  Chic #121031

CH Hansen's All Hail Breaking Loose & It's Nutrageous MTI (Denali)
  aka "Baby Girl, Ain't She Pretty"  lol.

Denali (Picard x Ellie)  Like her father Denali loves everyone, has tons of prey and hunt drive, and she's beautiful to boot!  Denali is 24" at the withers and weighs in at 83 lbs.  She earned her MTI (mantrailing intermediate title - 1/2 mile aged 16.5 hours).  Denali gave us two fabulous litters (2020 and 2021).  Several of her puppies went to Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue homes.  Several of her puppies also excel in the conformation ring!  OFA Hips Good, Elbows Normal, Cardiac Normal, and DM Normal. 

Meet "Hansen's On The Right Pathe" (Pathe)

Pathe was our pick pup from Zeus and Ellie's 2016 litter.  She is her father's daughter!  Wow!  She has huge personality and is a spitfire on the trail!  We bred Pathe to Picard in 2018.  Several of her pups went to working homes and are doing very well.  We are anxious to follow their careers!  As required in all of our hounds, Pathe has tons of prey and hunt drive, is naturally fearless, is mentally stable, is extremely social, is structurally correct, and loves people.  Pathe is 23" at the withers and weighs 78 lbs.  OFA clearances are available on OFFA.org.

Meet 'Hansen's Zeus on the Loose' (Zeus)

We raised Zeus from a puppy (Hope and Rescue, retired, are his parents).  I think the best way to describe him is all around hound.  He is the coolest dog.  Gentle, energetic, playful, and beautiful.  He still thinks he's a lap dog when he can get away with it!  Zeus is considered a 'predominantly black' bloodhound.  He is trained to track wounded deer, often taking me through briar and brush that no human should even attempt!  When his nose is on the ground he is all about the job.  Zeus has sired numerous working bloodhounds and more of his pups are in training now.  He is 26" at the shoulder, weighs 90 pounds, and has passed his OFA DM as well as Hips and Elbows tests with no evidence of hip dysplasia.  Zeus is registered with AKC.

Rescue has a wonderful disposition.  He is gentle and loving,  fluid, and his nose keen. We have retired Rescue.  Rescue is nearing 11 years old but you wouldn't know it watching him run around the homestead!  Update - We lost Rescue in 2014 just prior to his 11th birthday.  Run free with the others who passed before you over the rainbow bridge my baby boy, Rescue.

Meet "Hansen's Rub My Belly Ellie" (Ellie May)

Ellie May is a beautiful Black and Tan Bloodhound.  This girl loves to run!  She is driven and agile.  Several of Ellie's puppies are working K9s or in training for Law Enforcement, SAR, and tracking wounded game. We kept Ellie May's daughters, Koda, Pathe, and Denali, to carry on at Hansen Hounds.  Ellie is 23.5" at the shoulder, weighs 80 lbs, and is AKC registered.
DM, Hips, Elbows, Heart, and Thyroid tests are within normal limits, and can be seen on OFFA.org.  No evidence of hip dysplasia. 

Meet "Sweet Sammi"
April 2012 - April 2016
Where to begin with Sammi.  Sammi was one of the most intuitive and obedient bloodhounds we've ever owned.  We purchased her hoping to compete in field trials.  She was a natural tracker, enjoying the sport and challenge of it.  Unfortunately, Sammi had a tough start.  She was initially diagnosed with Steroid Responsive Meningitis as a puppy.  We later learned that at some point Sammi suffered a neck injury that was pressing on her spinal cord.  She was ill and in and out of the hospital for most of her life.  She was spayed and never had puppies.  Sammi was a wonderful addition to our family.  She ruled the house.  When we were missing a glove, or a sock, or a slipper, I knew right where to find it.  In her bed or on 'her' couch!

"Charlie"  AKA - Charles Barkley
February 2000 - January 2009

Charlie was a loveable hound mix that
 we adopted from the Evergreen Animal Protection
League (EAPL) in Colorado.  He is ASHA certified
and the reason why we fell in love with hounds
and tracking.  He was a member of our family,
will be missed by all, but never forgotten.

Meet "Ananda aka Adonis"

We imported Adonis from Hungary.  He is stunning.  Unfortunately Adonis did not pass his health clearances and will not be used in our breeding program.  He has poor hips, entropion, and juvenile cataracts.  Several of his siblings also have issues.  With no guarantee from the breeder there is nothing we can do.  The lesson...take your time looking for a puppy.  Talk to and try to visit several breeders.  Learn about the dogs in the pedigree.  Ask for references and talk to owners of your breeders pups.  Contact the American Bloodhound Club for a referral.  Make sure the health clearances are done.  Don't settle for a 'cheap' pup and don't be afraid to ask questions!  It may take a year or two to find the right puppy but the wait and a little added cost for health clearances will be worth it in the end.

For all of our four-legged friends:
God Blessed Us
I'll lend you, for a little while,
My grandest pup," He said.
For you to love while he's alive
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one or fifteen years,
Or days or months, you see.
But, will you, till I take him back,
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have treasured memories
To bring solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But, there are lessons taught on earth
I want this dog to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes With trust,
I have selected you.
Now will you give him your total love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come
To take him back again?
I know you'll give him tenderness
And love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
Much sooner than you'd planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday understand.
