Precious was the Blaylock family's female red Bloodhound who passed away suddenly in February 2006. She had an absolutely wonderful disposition and was always a favorite at public appearances. About six years old when joining Dave's household, she already had experience as a mantrailer with another handler. When the other handler moved to a new town with an ordinance limiting the number of dogs in a household, Dave agreed to bring Precious into his home where she quickly became part of the BSARD family.
