          Greetings from David, Marlene and Karissa Groves, or what we call Buffalo Groves Bloodhound Ranch!

          We are here to help you learn about Bloodhounds - Bloodhound History, Bloodhound Health, Bloodhound Standards, Bloodhound Puppies, and so much more!

          We aren't the biggest Bloodhound  Breeder (or Buffalo Ranch) and that's okay, we are quality over quantity, and love educating & advocating for Purebred Bloodhounds!

          Bloodhound Ranch Welcome


          Welcome to Buffalo Groves Bloodhound Ranch.  Buffalo Groves is the name of our Bison ranching operation and the name we use for our Bloodhounds.  We are also known as the Bloodhound Ranch.

          We are not a high volume bloodhound breeder, nor do we want to be.  Instead we are intent on breeding happy, healthy purebred bloodhounds to the AKC (American Kennel Club) Standard; with the emphasis that bloodhounds must still be able to perform their important working job which is bloodhound man-trailing (also known as bloodhound man-tracking).

          Our Bloodhound Beliefs


          Bloodhounds truly have the best canine nose
          Bloodhounds are great dogs but not for everyone
          Bloodhounds are strong willed but also sensitive
          Bloodhounds are smart but act like characters
          Bloodhounds can have a variety of health issues
          Bloodhounds need lots of time, love & attention
          Bloodhounds need training, routine and rules
          Bloodhounds eat a lot, poop a lot and they drool
          Bloodhounds do best in a large fenced yard

          Bloodhound puppies are adorable, but they grow into large independent, often messy, sometimes challenging dogs...  Please investigate this breed before you consider getting a bloodhound...

          As Owners & Breeders, What Do We Do?

          We mainly love our dogs and try to honor each one from the time they are a wrinkly rowdy puppy until they are an old white faced senior.


          We train them,  care for them, vet & health test them, socialize them, discipline them, show them, laugh at them, sometimes cry over them, and are always proud of them!  We truly cherish each day we have them! 


          We are very committed to helping new & future bloodhound people (and the general public) learn about bloodhounds; but we also encourage law enforcement  agencies along with search and rescue teams to learn more about the amazing working ability of bloodhounds!


          We spend a lot of time advocating for purebred dogs, responsible dog breeders and for common sense dog laws & legislation.


          We thank our bloodhound mentors, the incredible Anne Legge (RIP), the knowledgeable Adriana Pavlinovich and the helpful Susan Hamil.

          What Do Our Bloodhounds Do?

          Our dogs live in the house with us and are first  and foremost our adorable (annoying) family pets!  Our ranch is 400 acres,  with thousands of acres around us.  We have a couple acres fenced for the dogs providing plenty of outdoor time, exercise and enrichment.  Their favorite things are going on ranch hikes, gathering firewood, chewing on logs & bones, bellowing when anyone drives up and playing hide & seek - sniffin'!


          They do Conformation Dog Showing with most attaining beyond their Championship and some doing Rally and/or Obedience, while others prefer to use their noses and Trail (some even becoming top working law enforcement K9 Bloodhounds)!


          The dogs enjoy doing Public Education at Dog Events, Schools, Libraries, County Fairs and a variety of other Community Events & Fundraisers; but they are likely most appreciated at the Senior Homes doing Therapy (or as we call it providing Dog Joy).


           

          We think Bloodhounds are Wonderful Family Pets and they  Enjoy doing  Therapy Work and Public Education, can be Successful  Show Dogs and are Amazing Working K9's!
