Flessner Kennels
Flessner Kennels has been raising bloodhounds on a farm outside Saint Joseph, Illinois, since the 1980s, with the program run by Bryan and Chris Flessner roughly 20 miles east of Champaign. The kennel breeds bloodhounds for show, companionship, and search-and-rescue work, making it one of the more versatile bloodhound programs available to buyers looking for bloodhound puppies in Illinois.
Temperament and health are the stated foundations of the Flessners' selection process, followed by structural soundness and balance of movement. Chris leads the breeding and pedigree work, while Bryan focuses on daily kennel care and conditioning. The program holds AKC Breeder of Merit status.
The kennel's record in the conformation ring reflects that long-term focus. Their homebred "Trumpet" became the first bloodhound in history to win Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2022. Over the decades, Flessner Kennels has produced four national-specialty winners, more than 60 American and Canadian champions, and more than 15 American Bloodhound Club Hall of Fame dogs.
