After reading a certain shooting mag, i noticed an advert for Hanoverian bloodhound pups, these pups are not the first litter in the u.k. the first litter was bred in scotland and all of the 6 pups are worked daily by full time stalkers in scotland and have done for a number of years. These hounds are a specialist breed and not for the faint hearted and should be worked constantly on deer in order to get the full ability out of them. Next thing we know they will be crossed with any other dog breed which will make any deer dog enthusiasts blood boil. i have a funny feeling this maybe a touchy subject and will spark a long debate!
