I'm the breeder behind Windbourne Farm Black & Tan Coonhounds located in Molalla, OR. My goal when breeding is to produce mentally and physically healthy dogs that are as close to the breed standard as possible. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies, and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
