Welcome to Thunder Mountain Black and Tans

A BREED BUILDER'S CREED

Success, be it mighty or humble, operated for private monetary gain or public weal, or both, must base its' right for continued success on one's ability to consistently maintain an improving position in its field.

An inherent love for good hounds, gave birth to a widely known strain of hounds called the, "THUNDER MOUNTAIN BLACK & TANS". Today, some 48 years later, they are world famed and called the, "ALBERT dogs". Ambition has made expansion inevitable, and as time passed, an interest, and a sense of responsibility toward the breed was generated. A seal was born to breed the world's best Black & Tan hounds. A constant search, a requirement of the best blood of the breed, an intensification of the blood of the best, and by selective breeding over the years, is what our hounds are today.

I feel we have the soundest bred strain of Black & Tans in existence. We will continue to do our best to keep improving them each year. You are invited to avail yourself of the fruits of our breeding program.

I pledge and promise to you, to strive, breed, and promote the best Black & Tan hound possible. I remain a loyal and true Black & Tan fancier.

As always,

Yours for better Black & Tans

Gentlemen, come along and take a look at some of our most famed Black & Tans. We've owned and trained very many good hounds, but lack of space will only let us show some of our finest. Let's go back to the beginning, in 1964.
