I have no personal experience with training hounds, but know of people who have. The best that I can do is give some training advice.
I'd start with some focus with her, since she is a pup. Have her sit in front of you and reward everytime she looks at you. Make a command for this, such as "Watch" or whatever other word you would like to use.
As for stud fees, yes the price of what you would pay for a single pup is the norm. I highly suggest that if you plan on breeding her in the future, to do some Tracking with her as well. Play lots of scent games that require her to use her nose. Not only is it GREAT for the breed, but it can be LOTS of FUN too! I play them with my Malinois. She has an amazing nose and we both enjoy these scenting games. She enjoys it a little too much though (it's a great quality!), I think she might be part Bloodhound -wink-, lol.
As for Obedience...AK C Rally would be a great start for any "on the field" work. Since you can do just about anything (except touch the dog) to motivate her. I've seen some Bloodhounds trial and complete the course with no problems and have earned their Rally titles. They aren't quick about it, but that's okay, take your time and have fun!
Also, expand your options and search out other Stud owners. You want the BEST dog that will compliment your female. Don't settle for anything less. If the Stud owner closest to you is a great dog, then kudos to you. You never know though, perhaps there is an Obedience dog out there that you can breed to. That's your goal, isn't it? To have a Bloodhound who can also do Obedience? Look for those traits.
Write out a list of the great qualities your female has and of other qualities you would like to see. Then find a Stud dog who, when combined with your female, can produce such possiblities in the next generation.
