Bloodhounds are patient and easygoing. They have a great deal of energy, however, so they need vigorous exercise. Although Bloodhounds like people, kids, and other pets, males often don't get along. Bloodhounds howl and drool. Bloodhounds are hounds dogs. Because they are great at sniffing and exploring, hounds were originally used to trail rabbits, foxes, and other small mammals. Most hounds are good-natured dogs that make loving companions if trained properly. Hounds are sometimes stubborn, though, so training may take a while. Most hounds need rigorous physical exercise, so daily walks and runs are a must. Never let a hound off a leash unless it is in an enclosed area, because it will take off if it picks up a scent. Hounds are barkers and howlers, and they are sometimes hard to housebreak. Origin: Belgium
Height: Males : 25" - 27"; Females: 23" - 25" Weight: 80-110 Coat: Hard and loose. Color: Black and tan, red and tan, or solid tan. Some Bloodhounds are flecked with white or have a little white on their chests, feet, and tails. Puppies are dark; wrinkles come with age. Eyes are hazel or yellow. |
