Hanoverian Hound Dog Names

While the Hanoverian Hound is not a popular or well-recognized breed, they are all hound and love letting their presence be known whether they are out in the field or in the backyard. Camellia, or UKC Champion Oak Hill’s Fromarianhill Camellia, is helping to promote her breed. She came to her new family in April 2016 and immediately began her training. She spent three months with professional handler Laura Gregory to learn obedience as well as conformation stacking. In the summer of 2016, Camellia went to her first set of United Kennel Club (UKC) shows where she won over most of the judges and earned her championship. She was brought back home after earning her championship and was entered into the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) Foundation Stock Service (FSS) so she is now eligible to compete in AKC events as well as UKC events. In the Fall of 2016, Camellia started her wounded game tracking training. She was a natural and was focused while in the field.

Camellia was bred by Fromarian Hill Kennels and resides at Oak Hill Kennels in Granville County, North Carolina. They are dedicated to health testing their Hanoverian Hounds to ensure all their breeding stock is healthy and free of genetic conditions. Oak Hill Kennels came into existence in 2007 when they purchased an AKC black and tan Coonhound named Suzie who also competed in tracking competitions. During an extended stay in San Diego, California, two more black and tan Coonhounds were added to the kennel. In 2012, one of their Coonhounds was used in a search and rescue effort to locate a mentally disabled family member with a successful outcome. It was not until 2014 that Oak Hill Kennels decided to add the Hanoverian Hound along with the Porcelaine, and the Bavarian Mountain Scenthound. They wanted these dogs to be trained in search and rescue as well as scent work within the field. All three of these rare hound breeds were imported from all over Europe to North Carolina. The Hanoverian Hounds are being exhibited in conformation as well as scent work searching for wounded game. The Hanoverian Hound has been used in police work, medical alert, therapy, search and rescue, service dog, game tracking, and conformation showing. They also excel in many dog performance events. Oak Hill Kennels has been working diligently to promote the rare hound breeds, especially the Hanoverian Hound. Through their efforts, the Hanoverian Hound is moving closer to becoming fully recognized by the AKC.
