I'm the breeder behind Stout-Hearted Hounds located in Sacramento, CA. My goal as a breeder is to produce dogs that not only meet the historical legacy of their breed but that can also live long and healthy lives as companions in the home. All of my dogs live in my home as beloved pets first and foremost, and on the weekends we enjoy spending time together outdoors - be it racing, hunting, showing, or just enjoying a romp at the beach.
About Audrey
Stout-Hearted Hounds began in 2005 after I acquired my first Greyhound, a retired racer named Olde Ecstasy or just "Cali" to her friends. Cali was not only the beginning of my interest in sighthound breeds, but also the beginning of my passion for sighthound field sports. With Cali, and my second Greyhound Humer, I became acquainted with amateur racing and lure coursing. Needless to say, I became hooked on the breed and the sports. In 2007 I acquired my first Magyar Agár from Hungary, a male named Aranyági Utonálló Fenség, call name "Gil." Gil was an amazing introduction to the Magyar Agár breed, which has since become my primary focus as a breeder/exhibitor. He was a once-in-a-lifetime dog; not only an amazing athlete but a superb companion and friend to everyone he met. Through Gil I became hooked on hare coursing, both as a competition sport and a form of pleasure hunting.
What makes Audrey’s program special
My breeding program is focused on producing dogs that are true to the cultural heritage and original function of the breed. At the same time, I aim to produce dogs who are not only healthy and long-lived but who also make wonderful family companions.

My puppies are raised inside my home with the rest of my dog family.

Why Audrey started breeding
I bred my first (and probably the country's first) litter of Magyar Agár puppies in 2011, and my first litter of Greyhounds in 2019. As of this writing (2025) I am currently enjoying my fourth generation of bred-by dogs.

About Risë
Risë is my keeper puppy from my 2020 litter. She is a Magyar Agar (i.e. Hungarian Greyhound - Good Dog does not have this breed in their list); her mother was imported directly from Hungary and her father was born here in the United States. Risë is my snuggly noodle girl who loves to cuddle under the covers and sunbathe out on the patio (when she isn't busy chasing the squirrels away from the yard). She has the same deep, baritone voice of her grandma Patti, which she loves to greet me with when she's happy or feeling playful. Risë is a triple champion, holding titles in Conformation, Lure Coursing, and Sprint Racing.

About Bonnie
Bonnie is my wild child. I have never known a dog who is as full of life as she is - and who lives every day to its fullest. She loves nothing more than to stretch her legs and run, or to go for a dip in our local swimming hole. She is the life of the party, and even at almost 6 years old, she is so young at heart. This girl is my heart and soul!
