Aspencade Bloodhounds: 2010

Thursday, 23 December 2010

In response to the Farlap blog post Wednesday December 15th 2010.

I thought this should be put on here.

With regard to these postings I would like to say.
The breeder being called a novice although being
the first litter they have bred has thought very carefully
about this breeding. Before embarking on the mating
the breeder discussed and sought the advice of breeders
of both the stud dog, the bitch to be mated and ourselves.
Everyone consulted looked into the breeding and thought
it would be a good mating for both the health and conformation
of the Bloodhound.
As for the statement 'from nonregistered or health tested parents.'
I don't know where the non registered part comes from as both the
Sire and Dam are registered with the Kennel Club. There are no
recommended health tests in force for the bloodhound at the moment
so are not mandatory.
All this from a self proclaimed expert on the breed!!!
Healthy bloodhounds are known for producing large litters
the size of this litter I think speaks for itself, and all credit
goes to this 'novice' for managing to rear 14 bloodhounds a task
in itself even for a so called experienced breeder. Why someone
would want to make a posting like the one on the farlap site is
beyond me, people publicly attempting to discredit anyone
can only expect responses like the posting above.
People in glass houses springs to mind.
Feel free to make comments!
