Kacie Davis Jordan - 

Kacie Davis-Jordan has been involved with AKC conformation dog shows for 25 years. Her journey with this sport began in Junior showmanship where she had the opportunity to work with many different breeds; which led to her career as a Professional handler. At a young age, she was introduced to Bluetick Coonhounds because of her mother's fondness of hounds. Her mother, Angela, and great-grandfather, Wesley were long time lovers of any "hound"; so when Angela had the opportunity to add a Bluetick to our pack she jumped on the chance to represent her grandfather. Their fun loving disposition and striking color made Kacie fall head over heels instantly. The first Bluetick Kacie showed, Bailey was without a doubt a true ambassador of the breed inside and out.  The first time Bailey and Kacie entered an AKC conformation event she walked away with Best Puppy in show; needless to say she was hooked! As a breeder, Kacie strives to produce quality Blueticks with "true" form/function along with exceptional temperaments.  As a board member, I will strive to promote this breed to the public at large along with continuing testing and educating others on their overall health. 

Susan Lloyd - 

Dr. Susan Lloyd grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where her mother raised thoroughbred horses and German shepherds. Dr. Lloyd likes to joke that she was practically born on a horse! For her, animal care has always been a natural part of life—she’s been serving the pets and animal owners of the area as the owner of Live Oak Veterinary Hospital for 18 years. After attending East Carolina University for a semester, Dr. Lloyd headed to North Carolina State University to complete her undergraduate degree and earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1993. The following year, she completed an internship in poultry medicine. Dr. Lloyd then traveled the state, working for several different doctors providing relief services for a number of years, before founding Live Oak Veterinary Hospital in Beaufort, North Carolina on the recommendation of a previous employer. She has a special interest in improving the quality of life for her senior clientele and the pets that enrich their lives. In her time away from work, Dr. Lloyd is an avid motorcycle rider and enjoys getting out on her bike whenever she can. She lives in Newport with a multitude of dogs, most of whom are retired hunters or show dogs—she still actively shows dogs after first being introduced to the coonhound breeds by a client in the mid-to late-1990s. In the 2005 Purina Race, representing the state dog of North Carolina, Dr. Lloyd hunted with her Plott hound, Budro, placed 5th overall, 1st with the breed and became the first woman to win a Purina Outstanding Coonhound title.  Additionally, she finished multiple coonhounds to  Grand Water Champion, Grand Show Champion, and Night Champion. In addition, Dr. Lloyd’s Bluetick Coonhound, Mike, was the number-one Bluetick in the country in 2010 and is the American Kennel Club’s first-ever Grand Champion male Bluetick! My heart in always going to be with the coonhounds, especially the Blueticks and Plotts, investing my time and energy to keeping the breeds true to the standard and function.
