Puppies

Hound puppies are cared for by puppy walkers from weaning (around 2–3 months of age) until they join the pack at approximately 6 months.

If you would like to raise a pup, please contact Jordan.

Things you can teach your hound pup:

• “Leave it” – Use this command if your puppy tries to eat the cat food (or the cat!). Enforce firmly and consistently.

• “Come” – Always use the pup’s name with this command.

• “Kennel up” – Use these words when putting the pup away; bribery is perfectly acceptable.

Your puppy should also be taught to lead and tie up, particularly if he or she may be a potential hound show champion.

Pups should be accustomed to regular handling, including being picked up.

Please let us know when your puppy starts hunting. At this stage, it will be time for the pup to return to the kennels—before they become too independent—so they can continue developing as a good team member.
