Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound History

In the 1800’s, the Germans used a breed of dog called German Bracken hunting dogs in order to help them trail game. These German Bracken dogs possessed a strong sense of smell to help hunters track and trail their prey. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound is a descendant from the German Bracken breed.
The rough and rugged mountains of Germany were not quite suited for the Hanoverian Scent hound as they were too big and heavy for that type of terrain. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was bred to be lighter and more agile, so it was better equipped to keep up with big game and prey that hunters were going after.
The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was recognized as a breed in 1996 by the United Kennel Club (UKC), the American Kennel Club (AKC) inducted the breed into its Foundation Stock Service in 2016.
In 2017 the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound Society of America was formed.



Bedlington Terrier History

This is an unusual-looking dog, but one who can win your heart in a nanosecond. She’s most often been compared with a lamb. Her smooth, hairy head, sweet eyes, light topknot and springy gait have endeared her to dog lovers all the way back to her early days in England. Bedlingtons make excellent family companions, as they love adults and children in equal measure and get the most enjoyment from gathering with their “packs”.

Living with a Bedlington is an constant joy that can last a delightful 11 to 16 years. The breed is also easy to house train.

Her origin is pretty straightforward. The Bedlington Terrier originated in Bedlington in northeast England. Her working purpose was to hunt vermin in mining operations — what an ignoble beginning for such a regal-looking dog! Before long, though, she was introduced to dog racing and other dog sports, conformation events, and life as a family pet. Her official name, Bedlington Terrier, was not coined until 1825, but the breed itself has been around since the late 1700s.
