Joining The Bloodhound Club

"The Club" is one of the two societies in Britain to organise trials for bloodhounds under Kennel Club License, and is well worth joining if you are considering buying a bloodhound puppy.
Any reputable breeder should be bound by the Bloodhound Club code of ethics and should be able to supply you with an application form.
However, you may like to print one from your own printer by clicking here !
Also available as an Adobe PDF file.
It's best to join, before you buy the puppy, since then you will get to know more than one breeder, and give you time to decide whether this potentially difficult breed is right for your own circumstances. It's better to be put off bloodhounds before you buy one than later!

In order to join, you will need to be proposed by at least one existing member.; If you would like to join, but can't get the signature, there's a good chance we can put you in touch with the nearest Bloodhound Club members.; Hence, forward your details and snail mail address; by email
OR to the Membership Secretary: David Powell, Crosse Farm, Cheriton Bishop, EX6 6JB
