"What an amazing experience we have had with you as our breeder! After tirelessly searching the web for a reputable breeder we are so pleased that we found you. Unlike other breeders who merely see their dogs as dollar signs, you go above and beyond everything we expected! The geniune care you have for each pup/dog is exactly the reason why we chose to add one of your pups to our family, and we are so glad we did! He has brought many smiles to our home and to everyone he meets and we never hesitate to let people know where he came from. We hope you know how grateful we are to you...Every email (and we sent lots!), phone call, question was answered happily and with care. We found the information you sent us home with to be very beneficial and we know that we could call you with the silliest of questions and you'd be happy to answer it right away. We thank you SO much for all you have done! We couldn't be happier!"

"We could not be happier with our handsome bloodhound puppy and the service you have provided.  It was so comforting to have so much information sent home with him and to know you are always a call away whenever we have had a question.  Everyone who meets our puppy has said he is the most handsome bloodhound they have ever seen.  He is wonderful with our two toddlers and loves to be around people.  Luke goes on the job with our landscape company and has never wandered off, he seems content with just watching what is going on around him. He brings a joy to our lives!"

I had found New England Holla Hounds on the internet in search of my bloodhound pup. I talked with Sara over the phone/e mail numerous times. She answered all of my questions and was very knowledgeable about the breed. I had visited her kennels three times to find a cast of wonderful bloodhound characters baying at me in hopes of some attention. Buck the father of my Huckleberry ran over and gave me wonderful slobbery bloodhound kisses. Dealing with Sara was a wonderful experience and she truly cares for every single bloodhound in her care and treats them like her family. I know this because when I came to pick up my Huckleberry the Hound, I noticed Sara had a little tear in her eye and was sad to see him go. I highly recommend New England Holla Hounds for your choice as a breeder and the joy your new bloodhound pup will bring you is unspeakable, especially when he starts to sing for you. Huck is a great addition to my family and I know you will feel the same way too.

I met  Sara, Cathy  and their kennel in February 09 when they were buying a nice puppy  that we co own together, her name is Willow, from Ariel/Sathmo litter. Six months later June 7th, you had a litter and we co own Paisley together. I just knew the number's were right and at her  first show she’s  already showing that  she is what her name is, New England Holla hounds Darling's Sweet Dreams .At .just 6 months old and her  first show, she  already has her Two  major's. Shes  our future star!

I have known Sara and Cathy for many years.  Cathy was my partner in Saint Bernard’s for many years. Many of my  pupps that went on to finish itheir Championship were raised by Cathy. She and Sara take wonderful care of their dogs.  I never worried for a minute that each and every dog would get Cathy's undivided attention. This past summer Cathy went on a three week vacation leaving Sara to fend for herself with her 2 little children, the saints and bloodhounds.  Needless to say Sara had a new appreciation for all of her moms knowledge, not to mention ENDLESS hours of work put into daily chores.  Sara found herself in a predicament when one of the dogs came down with severe diarrhea from drinking ground water.  She could not reach her mom by phone so I got the distress call.  Sara was in a TOTAL panic.  I knew then that Sara had what it took to be a successful breeder.  She cares deeply for each and every one of her adult dogs and puppies. They have beautiful, sound bloodhounds with great temperaments. Anyone that gets a hound from them will  be very pleased. Two of their puppies from their first litters are well on their way to finishing their Championships. Way to go Cathy and Sara!! (picture, Even, owned by myself and co-owned by Cathy)

I have always wanted a bloodhound so I searched the internet and found NE Holla Hounds. After talking with Sara about her hound puppies, she was very informative and helpful with our decision making to adopt Lilly. Between the weeks from actually picking Lilly up, I called, and emailed Sara with questions and concerns, in which Sara was very happy to answer regardless of how silly the question. We are very happy with Sara and the way Lilly was socialized and taken care of.  Many people stop us and admire Lilly and we tell them where we got her,  Lilly has adapted well to her new family and especially to her new buddy Charlie, a 6 yr old Coon Hound. She has brought us a lot of laughs and loving with her many kisses and her clown antics, she would do somersaults and chasing her tail. Now if I could only stop the counter surfing.

Bo is doing real good, as you can see he lives like a king i had to buy the cat so BO would not be alone. Everywhere I go people are amazed by BO, he is very cuddly and a big goof . He is 110 lbs, he likes to lay on me when i watch TV. I am very happy with BO i made a very good choice. search and rescue did ask me to train BO so that probably be the way i will be going with him. Maybe next summer I will drive to your place to show you  BO.

What could be better than a hound pup? Why, two hound pups, of course!

I was moping around, unhappy at having to give up my English Mastiff for aggression reasons, when my wife found the New England Holla Hounds web site. This was the beginning of a thoroughly enjoyable experience.  When the day came to pick what was supposed to be one pup, I was traveling with two of my sons. My wife and other son made the trip to Vermont and picked out beautiful Layla.  I did not find out until later that my wife had also fallen in love with the runt of the litter, Sasha, who kept following her around.  Well, Sasha has caught up, and is also a beautiful young lady now.  Both before and after the homecoming, Sara from NE Holla Hounds was very helpful in answering all our questions about this unique breed.  We knew from the start that we were getting pups that were loved as family members. If you are in the market for a loyal and lovable dog, I highly recommend New England Holla Hounds!

Fancy Red, our precious little, well not so little girl, she has brought many smiles to us and all our friends. It was so nice to have a breeder that puts so much love and care into each one of their puppies. Meeting all of their dogs and seeing how well cared for they are was a heartwarming experience .Sara is an exceptional breeder who puts her heart into everyone of her dogs. The puppies are given lots of love by Sara, Cathy and her children. I’m sure it’s hard for them to say goodbye when it is time to go to their new homes. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a bloodhound to go to New England Holla Hounds first. They are very informative, professional and will become friends when you meet them. I’m sure we will be back to get Fancy Red a sister soon.
