Hansen's Bloodhounds

About Us

Nice Bass June 2008Guess I'll start with me.  I was born and raised in south-central Iowa.  I grew up camping, fishing, hunting, water-skiing...darn near anything outdoors.  We also raised Brittney Spaniels.  Dad was a hunter and trained his Brittney's for that purpose.  I spent 10 years active duty in the Army then pursued technology, ending up as a Network Engineer for the City of Lakewood in Colorado.  A few years ago, I bought my present home, took a leap of faith, quit my job and moved back to Iowa where we are growing certified organic garlic (you can check it out at www.2SistersGarlic.com).  I have three children, two boys (25 and 20) are living on their own in south-central Kansas.  My daughter (16 going on 30!) and step-daughter are living on the homestead with us.  We live a simple life on our homestead without all of the headaches of city life and we love it! 

Wildlife Ecology and ConservationMy husband was born and raised in Missouri on a farm.  He is an avid
hunter, fisherman, and my best friend.  He is retired Navy, proudly serving over 20 years including 2 tours in the Persian Gulf, finished his Wildlife Ecology and Conservation degree at Northwest Missouri State University in 2009 and is working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service.  He has three children, all girls, 18, 17, and 14. 

We are a Christian family and members of the Community of Faith Church in Maryville, Missouri.

With our love for the outdoors, outdoor sports, and animals, it was a natural choice to bring Bloodhounds into our family and into our life.  Our bloodhounds are members of our family and dearly loved.  We will always have bloodhounds in our lives!
