Heather was born in Canada at the home of Heather & Peter Whitcomb. Her mother was Ch. Sapphires and Diamonds (“Taylor”) and her father, Ch. Heathers Knock on Wood (“Knotty”). Heather’s partner and handler is Al and she started her training at 10 weeks of age. She attended her first training seminar in Virginia at the age of 4 months. Heather is very outgoing and a fast learner. She likes to run and play with her Bloodhound family but most of all she likes to trail and jump on the person she’s looking for! Heather started her testing for the American Bloodhound Club's four levels of training certifications. She is a very promising addition to the team!

Bailey came to Al & Patti Means as a breed rescue and blended in with the rest of the Bloodhound family – so she will remain on board as an official team member. Bailey has had a minimal amount of training but accomplished her American Bloodhound Club “Mantrailer” certification. She and her Bloodhound buddies are playmates all day long until they are too tired to run around. Bailey loves pig ears too and keeping watch over her family at night.
