Breeders of quality Bloodhounds, Clumber Spaniels and St Hubert Jura Laufhunds
 
I can be reached temporarily at: 705-632-0197
while I visit my new granddaughter! (Click here to meet her!)

Within these " new and improved" pages you will meet all of my dogs, both with me in body and in my heart. You will also meet many that started their young lives with me and are now in wonderful homes with loving families. These are the most important homes of all.

Here at Mason we strive to produce pups that will mature into adults that are sound of both body and mind. I have been owned by bloodhounds for 14 years, and by Clumbers for 8 years. Most recently I have  added the Jura Laufhund - St. Hubert variety! This is a new breed here in North America which were originally bred in Switzerland to hunt game. Their co-owners and I are very excited about this breed. Resembling small bloodhounds, our 2 foundation stock were from a hunting kennel 
in France. They have the appearance of being small bloodhounds, but they are really an entirely different breed with very different personalities. On October 25, 2000 they presented us with 13 baby Juras....as cute as buttons! Click on the link below to visit them.
Not only have there been conformation "stars" come out of our breeding program, but many are also doing what bloodhounds do best....mantrailing. Some of these have made significant finds, and have also made me proud to see them active and working. I have received many compliments on the "workability" of my dogs. Zack (shown right with his owner-
handler Kevin Baughn) and his brother "Trento" (owner handled by Mike Ghezzi) are working in California. 

Still others are doing what I consider to possibly be the most important job of all....loving their families. These dogs take this job VERY seriously, and excel at what they do! We have yet to place any clumbers into hunting homes, but they too have made us proud by taking their jobs as couch potatoes very seriously!
