"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 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 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 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 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 (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.

Club for Bavarian Mountain Blood Hounds
Pictures
Pups available from us.
The KBGS in Germany was very open to assist us here in North America get a club established. As a club 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 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.
Important information for all BMH owners in the United States.

Introducing the newest blood tracking dog to Hillock Kennels. Thanks 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.

Hillock Kennels is currently working on a training video to help you train you new pup to recover wounded animals. Look for it some time around the fall of 2011.
When you get through looking around the Hillock sponsors. If you purchase anything from them or talk to anyone let them know that you found them here.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Nov 09 Due to the forming of the Bayerische Gebirgsschweisshund Group North America 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.
Thanks Ken Parker
Mirko's first real find. 150 yards through several patches of standing water. He never missed a beat and went right to the deer.
08/6/2011 The KBGS-GNA had a great meeting back in May with many of our members turning out to listen and learn from James Smyth. James is retired Army and remained in Germany after his retirement. James became a member of the KBGS in the late 70 and eventually became a judge. His knowledge will be invaluable to our group. I was just informed today that there will be a VSwP help in North Carolina either the third or fourth week of March 2012. If both dogs pass their tracking test then hopefully the first pups coming out of the KBGSS-GNA will arrive sometime mid to late 2012
