Ace is the newest cornerstone of our bloodhound program, and he has exceeded every expectation from the moment he joined our family. With his powerful frame, expressive eyes, and classic bloodhound features, Ace represents the very best of the breed. But what truly sets him apart is his temperament as he is steady, loyal, and deeply intuitive with the people around him. From the start, Ace showed remarkable scenting ability and a natural drive that aligns perfectly with the traditional working bloodhound. He is focused when tracking, confident in new environments, and responsive to guidance, making him a dependable partner whether he’s learning a new task or interacting with children. His calm, gentle nature at home combined with his working-dog instinct makes him an exceptional all-around hound.
Sonja may only be two years old, but she carries herself like a soul much older. She is wise, intuitive, and deeply connected to the world around her. Where Conan is all power and certainty, Sonja brings balance through grace, gentleness, and quiet determination. She’s the kind of bloodhound who doesn’t need to demand attention to be noticed as her presence speaks volumes through her soft eyes, careful watch, and uncanny ability to pick up on subtle emotional shifts in people.
From the start, Sonja has shown an innate sensitivity. She is deeply bonded to her humans and particularly drawn to children, often positioning herself nearby as if she instinctively knows who needs comfort or protection. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, always offering a calming presence and a sense of safety to anyone in her orbit. When she moves, it’s with purpose but never in a rush. She observes before acting, takes in her surroundings with calculated curiosity, and has an almost meditative patience that sets her apart.
Don’t let her gentle spirit fool you, though, Sonja is all hound when it’s time to track. Her nose is sharp, her instincts true, and her endurance growing stronger every day. She has a natural gift for trailing, with a methodical approach and an impressive ability to stay focused under pressure. She’s still in the learning phase, but she approaches her training with quiet intensity and a desire to please that makes her a joy to work with.
What makes Sonja especially unique is her ability to harmonize with the energy of the pack while still holding her own. She’s not dominant, but she’s not submissive either, she’s just steady. She’s the emotional center, the grounding force, and the soul that softens the edges of the team. She’s the kind of dog who stays close when you’re hurting, who lifts her head to the wind as if listening to something beyond this world, and who reminds you, without a single bark, that there is great power in gentleness.
Sonja is more than a momma dog she’s a guardian, a healer, and a kindred spirit. As part of the HH Bloodhounds family, she brings balance, beauty, and heart to every trail she walks, every person she comforts, and every soul lucky enough to know her.
Ace carries a strong pedigree with generations of proven temperament, structure, and working aptitude behind him. His structure is textbook: long ears, loose skin, deep chest, and powerful bone structure — everything you want in a stud who will pass consistent, quality traits to his puppies. His health, build, and personality make him an incredible asset to our team, and we are grateful for the foundation he brings to our future litters.
In daily life, Ace is affectionate and very people friendly. He loves attention, thrives on routine, and has quickly become a favorite around here. Whether he’s following our cats scent trail, relaxing on the porch, or shadowing our daughter around the yard, he brings a sense of stability and joy wherever he goes. His puppies are expected to inherit his confidence, good nature, and impressive working drive, making them well-suited for both family companionship and service or scent-working homes.
We could not be more excited to introduce Ace as our stud. His presence honors our past, strengthens our present, and builds the foundation for the next generation of remarkable bloodhounds here at our kennel.
