I adopted a Bloodhound from my local pound almost a year ago after she picked me out and refused to let me leave without her! She is my first Bloodhound, but I am afraid it is not a habit I am going to be able to break. We have joined a local SAR group and to my am...
Just to update those who know. Our dog in Minneapolis was named Chief in honor of Bill. Chief came down with a health related issue and had to be retired.
As of last week a new bloodhound also named Chief is now deployed in Minneapolis.
Chief #1 in 1.5 yrs was res...
This is just a message to say to Natalie, Keith and Dean that Bill is missed every day and we thank you all for continuing to offer all of us the use of his knowledge. And to his extended family at the Special Forces Unit I know he is looking down upon you all with a...
It's been awhile now after Bills' passing and it appears that his webpage is getting traffic. With that in mind, I thought it might be time to give those who check in here an update specifically to the Niagara Co. Sheriff's Dept. Special Forces. (see www.ncsd.com)...
Dear Sirs, Could you forward this idea to the real experts in scent dogs? I was reading a crime paperback called "The Blooding' about how DNA evidence was FIRST applied, in a case of a serial rapist/killer and they DNA-tested the entire CITY to find the perpertrator....
Hello! I was so happy when I stumbled across your website. I have a 16 week old female bloodhound puppy that I have been training since the day we brought her home. She is doing very well but I want to make sure that I am training her the proper way. I would love...
I have been looking into options for a scent collection machine. I am the director of a SAR group, and would like something for training and for calls. I was provided your phone number, but did not want to bother you. Is the STU-100 for sale? Are there any other unit...
Hi Bill! Got a question for ya. I have a 10 week old bloodhound who I have been training for trailing for two weeks now. He is doing great with the puppy trails. He is able to finish a straight trail successfuly without seeing the trail laid or the person laying it....
Hi Bill I was wondering about something. For someone that is a bloodhound handler for a prison, do you think it would be a good idea to have sent pads made of all the inmates? That way if one escapes we would be ready to go A.S.A.P. Of course I realize this would mea...
I have a seven yr old trained mantrailing bloodhound...she has several finds accomplished but now I have been asked to bring her into an ongoing investigation of an abducted person *presumed dead* where she would have a scent article but the problem lies in that

hi,
I live in Italy and I own a Bloodhound puppy. I am in a SAR group and we need information about bloodhound training. In Italy we mostly use labs and German Shepherds for SAR. Bloodhounds are not used and no one knows how to train them. For the time being, we a...

I'm wondering if one should concentrate solely on specific find using scent article, or participate in area search and water recovery as well. My concern is that the bloodhound will be taught to find the freshest scent, a problem when the dog goes to trial a specic...
Bill-
What training procedures/books do you recommend for a new BH puppy. I have purchased from a top breeder and want to do things the "right way". I figured I would come to best teacher for advise. I have joined a SAR group and we do have one other bloodhound whic...

Hi Bill,
your website is very interesting and I frequently check it for changes and updates. It helps me to get on with my own work.
I've practised mantrailing for three years and I'm a member of a rescue dog unit (German Red Cross) for 14 years. We train dogs fo...
Hello All. I am looking to place a few of my 8 day old litter into known working homes. I would remain a co owner of the pups and the other owner would be responsible for training and titling. I am looking for caring, responsible, and experienced trainers/owners. The...
I am about to train a RAAF dog to man trail any human odour out bush. Does surface matter when setting up a trail for a new dog? My previous dogs were started up on hard road surface and then introduced to grass. What do you suggest?
Last week, a woman delivered a live baby boy. With cord still
attached to placenta, placed a diaper on the child, wrapped the child
in two blankets and left it in the woods to die. We were
experiencing extremely cold temps and snow was falling.
The next day, a...
Hello!
I'm a student(study to become a profesional dogtrainer) from Sweden. At the moment I'm writing about bloodhounds. I would like to come in contact with someone that can tell me about how it is to train and work with a bloodhound.
Thanks!
I have a 4 month old lab who might be a good candidate for SAR training. I am looking for a SAR K9 group near to me where I can have him assessed, and if he has potential, work with training him. I have expereince in obedience training, but have never attempted sea...
Bill I'm interested in your new book but live in New Zealand and you don't have credit card facilities on your web site. Any bright ideas how we can sort this.
Cheers Kim Charles.

Happy to report that we had a successful find of a missing Hunter lost in the Dismal Swamp for 24 hours! Patton was able to determine a direction a travel, and went into the swamp as far as we could go, but had to stop due to the very thick brush. Helo was called b...
One of my dogs has developed a chapped nose. Since she was young, her nose has always been dry on the bridge area. She always has access to clean water and her nose is moist around the nostrils. Lately the top bridge area has gotten worse. The bridge area is more cha...
Hi Les,
Dr. Whitney's "Bloodhounds and How To Train Them" is out of print.
I'm aware of people who have tried to buy old copies and the price ranged from $75.00 to $300.
I bought mine in the early 70's and loaned it out to several dog handlers. It...
For Bill,
Bill I have currently read and utilized the training methods of your books. I have read you refering to the Bloodhound book by Dr. Leon Whitney as your bible and am interested in reading it. however Im finding that the book is extremly rare and almost...
One person did email me and told me to get with the local prison guys. We just had a prison work camp escapee and they called in the dogs. The dogs could not pick up the scent and I think the hound quality has went down. I know the handlers and they are good. I spok...
Verity Stark I have run out of contacts where I can refer new bloodhound dog people. Mainly because I have not been working the seminar circuit and don't know where seminars are being held or who is working and attending them. I won't recommend people unless I know...

It's a personal preference of the handler. One sex doesn't work any better than the other. I prefer to work a male; thus avoiding the females semi-annual seasons.

I do not know of any seminars in your area, however, you are not too far from an outstanding seminar that will be offered in October in Virginia. It will be in Appomattox Virginia in the foothills of the mountains. Lodging/Food and instructin is outstandin...
