He’s just 1 run away from finishing his novice title. So chuffed . And doing it in the rain. Playing in puddles and the getting to chase things ! What’s not to love.

Theo and Dianne

So happy for Dianne and our Baby Theo
BBPIS Boru’s Here We Go Again - Theo
Although not on paper, Dianne was the co-breeder of this wonderful litter. We did the whole journey together with Dianne coming over several days a week to visit Venus and the babies. She helped me immensely with the litter and it was so much fun to have someone to share the puppies with. So to me this is Dianne’s first puppy from her first litter and at his first show and he wins Best Baby Puppy in Show !!!!!! So awesome! He was my pick of the boys and I'm glad Dianne and I were on the same page with that too. 😉 Lots of hard work went in to achieving this ribbon! Thank you judge Cheryl Patterson for finding this special puppy among so many wonderful puppies that day.

Factoid: Virtually everything about a Bloodhound’s phenotype is dedicated to helping the hound create an “odor image” (a sort of smell photograph) in the dog’s brain. When the head is carried low, loose, wrinkly skin falls into draping pendulous ridges and folds that trap scent, especially over the forehead and sides of the face. Droopy ears act as “scent sweepers” by dragging the group and sweeping smells toward the dog’s nose. They also serve to prevent wind from scattering nearby skin cells as the dog’s nose is on the ground. Up front, the dog’s lips fall squarely, making a right angle with the upper line of the foreface. Behind, they form deep, hanging flews, and continue into the pendant folds of loose skin about the neck constituting the dewlap which is very pronounced.

Folds of wrinkled flesh under the Bloodhound’s lips and neck help catch stray scent particles in the air or even on a nearby branch as the Bloodhound is scenting, reinforcing the scent in the dog’s memory and nose.

This really is, figuratively speaking, a nose with a dog attached. Researchers have estimated that a Bloodhound’s nose consists of approximately 230 million olfactory cells, or “scent receptors” — 40 times the number in humans. The surface area of the Bloodhound olfactory epithelium is 59 sq.in. compared to human’s 10 sq.cm.

Circling back to that “odor image,” it works like this: When a Bloodhound sniffs a scent article, air rushes through his or her nasal cavity, and chemical v***rs (odors) lodge in the mucus and bombard the hound’s scent receptors. Chemical signals are then sent to the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that analyzes smells, and an “odor image” is created. This “image” is far more detailed than a photograph is for a human. Using the odor image as a reference, the Bloodhound can locate a subject’s trail which is made up of a chemical cocktail of scents including breath, sweat v***r, and skin rafts. Once the bloodhound identifies the trail, it will not divert its attention despite being assailed by a multitude of other odors. Just ask a Bloodhound owner what its like to get their dog to move once s/he’s gotten interested in a scent. Only when the dog finds the source of the scent or reaches the end of the trail will it relent. So potent is the drive to track, Bloodhounds have been known to stick to a trail for more than 130 miles!
