With accomplishments in the show ring, on the lure coursing field, and on the race tracks, we wish Bob and his owner Debra Stafford good luck in the future Quote from Roger Caras’ book “Yankee; the inside story of a champion Bloodhound” from 1979: “All good Bloodhound breeders are pests. They will sell you a dog for a fortune and then haunt you for the rest of your life to be sure you are taking proper care of their baby. You adopt their dog and they adopt you. The contract may not read that way but that is what happens.” I am always interested in how your Whippet is doing. Am I a pest?
