Candice Cooley

Candice Cooley, bloodhounds, Hazelton, ID, works in Jerome County and the Magic Valley near Twin Falls. She has been involved in bloodhound breeding for over a decade, maintains registration with recognized national clubs, and supports breed rescue initiatives. Her dogs live in a home environment with daily social interaction, supervised outdoor exercise on the family property, and climate-controlled kennel access.

The breeding program grew out of a lifelong appreciation for the breed’s tracking instinct, and its focus on sound structure reflects a commitment to health and function. Litters are raised with early handling, gentle exposure to sounds and textures, and routine veterinary check-ups. Each bloodhound receives basic obedience training to support adaptability in household settings or scent-work activities. Feedback often highlights the friendly nature and reliable health of her puppies.
