| When the shot has been good and "sometimes not so good" and the blood trail is faint, a quality tracking dog can make all the difference in the world. |
| Here at Hillock Kennels (pronounced hil eck meaning a small hill for we live at the top of a small hill) we are committed to producing the highest quality Bavarian Mountain Blood hounds for genetic problems, competing in tracking test when they are available, and real world tracking experience. Each year more and more states are allowing dogs for blood tracking and recovery of wounded game such as deer and bear. If you are thinking about getting involved with blood tracking with dogs I trackers and foresters of Europe the scent tracking specialist know as Bavarian Mountain Blood hounds. |

The Bavarian Mountain Blood hound is also known as the is,
Bavarian Mountain Blood Dog ( which is the closest literal
translation). Being that Blood dog is not a smooth flowing The
Bavarian Mountain Blood hound is also known as the translation
it has been pointed out to me that Blood hound Bavarian
Mountain Scent Hound (this is what FCI's translation should be
used in the translation of the name. This translation is in no way
an indication of a link between the BGS or BMH as it is
commonly refereed to by those speaking English and the
Bloodhound that most are familiar with. A lot of the confusion
translations of Gebirgsschweisshund. The full German name is
Bayerische Gebirgsschweisshund. All Leash hounds are
descended from the original hunting dogs of Germany known as
Bracken. All pure Bracken dogs have the finest nose for
following ground scent and trail. They have a well developed will
to follow a difficult trail. The Bavarian Mountain Blood Hounds
ancestry can be traced to around 1870 when Baron
Karg-Bebenburg successfully crossed the Hanoverian Blood
hound with the lighter Tyrolean Hound (Tiroler Bracke) to create
a lighter blood tracking specialist. This created a more agile
dog for the mountains of Bavaria. At first sight, it is similar in
appearance to the Hanoverian Blood hound, but is shorter and
finer boned than the latter. The only recognized club for the
Bavarian Mountain Blood Hound was created in 1912 in Munich,
Germany.

I had a great trip to Germany to meet with the
was very open to assist us here in North
America get a club established. As a club and
our members will be able to import pups directly
from Germany. Pups will only go to established
members. If you are interested in joining the
BGS-GNA please let me know. Some of the BGS
in this country will be aloud to join and become
the bases for the future breeding program in
this country. Each dogs pedigree will be looked
at before being allowed into the club to make
sure that the paperwork is correct. There are
some dogs in this country have come from none
working parents and/or puppy mills in Europe.
These are the type of dogs that we do not want
in the club. This club will take a different mind
set than most Americans are use to. The very
strict rules are there to protect this great breed.
I want to protect this breed thus the reason I
pursued a relationship with the breed club in
Germany. If you are willing to accept these strict
rules I welcome you to join BGS-GNA.

Introducing the newest blood tracking dog to Hillock Kennels. Thanks
to the KBGS for making this possible. He represent a lot of hard
work and the future to the breed here in this country (new bloodlines).
If all works out and he turns out to be a good blood tracking dog for
locating and recovering wounded deer, then passes all of the
necessary test he will be used for breeding.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Nov 09 Due to the forming of the Bayerische Gebirgsschweisshund Group North America
(BGS-GNA) there are some changes going on with the BGS breed here. Others along with myself have joined the BGS
German club in hopes of reproducing the same kind of success of breeding quality tracking dogs that they have. We will
be following all of their rules. Thus we are starting over with only dogs that are ISHV stamped on the pedigree to insure
that they come from working homes. The first two pups where brought into this country in July 09. They will not be
eligible to have their hips tested till they are 2 and then must pass the tracking test before they are breed. We are
working to bring in a couple of new pups each year to bolster the bloodlines that are already here. We do not expect
any pups before late 2012. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we are doing this to insure that only the best dogs
are here and are used for breeding. If we start off right we can insure a good foundation for a wonderful breed. If you
decide to import a BGS PLEASE make sure that the dogs pedigree is stamped properly with the ISHV stamp. This way
we only bring in working dogs and keep the show dogs out of the country and out of the breeding program. If you have a
BGS with the proper stamps please let me know, if it passes all its test then we can add it to the know breeding gene
pool here in this country.

06/15/2010 The KBGS-GNA held our first official meeting were we went over and voted on our guidelines that we will
follow. This was an important step in being recognized by the JGHV which is the German hunting dog test organization.
Currently the GNA has 8 members. We will be the 9th group of the KBGS and the first outside of Germany. We still have
a long way to go but this is a great first step in protecting the BGS here in the United States.
