What a little ripper. I don’t think there are any of these in Australia.
How do you work them? Keep them at heel while stalking then for tracking if an animal runs?

Nice looking hound. They tend to be head strong. I am on my third BMH. Toby is now just over 18 months now and he is starting to prove himself in the field.

Looking good there Tom

They’re like any hound, they’ll keep to heel if you train them to, but once you let them off recovery can be a lottery.
Most people train them to work on a long tracking leash, failing that a GPS collar is pretty much essential.
Beautiful pup, by the way , best of luck with him!

Absolutely gorgeous, you’ve got some fantastic memories to come.

Have to say Tom, you look quite effeminate in that photo.

[Roebuck]

Never stops scenting even at home!

He will grow in to those Paws, here’s mine last year. He is 20 months now. And not much bigger, like a shadow never leaves my side. Loyal, loving and intelligent dogs. Great with people and other dogs.

The downside is he is piney, goes in the huff occasionally and god forbid I take a rifle out of the cabinet and don’t go stalking. One of those hinds made it 90 metres in to the forestry block with a dog leg before dropping, without him it would have took a good while to follow the blood. He was on the scent and found her in minutes.
