BLOODHOUND & GREAT PYRENEES BIS

GCH CH Flessner's International S'Cess

A good word to describe the Bloodhound is “relentless” as they are very determined in the pursuit of their quarry. The Bloodhound, GCH CH Flessner's International S'Cess, has been relentless in his defense of his status as the country’s Number One Hound. He finished last week with three BIS and one RBIS and has already collected two Hound groups and one BIS this weekend.
