Druide was diagnosed with a heart condition that is heriditary in other breeds but little is known of it in bloodhouds at 15 months of age when I took him in for his echocardiogram.  He had been to numerous vets previous to this and none could detect the murmur that was rated a grade 1.  I was told he would live a long life and it would not affect his longevity.  I found him dead one morning when he was 18 months old.  He has a cardiac number but I feel this was in error by the cardiologist and sent it in to OFA before researching his cardiac problem.  I tried to get it back from OFA and they refused to take it off the OFA page stating they are a registry and it would not be removed.

Druide was a beautiful boy, one of my favorites and he had a wonderful personality.  I would have loved to see what would have become of him had he matured into an adult.
