His favourite food is pizza (when he manages to steal it much to the dismay of the people around him) and he loves wearing Bandanas!
Half bloodhound, 45% poodle, 5% Bernie’s Mountain dog 100% goofball
Hello! I recently rescued a 6month old bloodhound puppy. Our hope is to get him to eventually be a blood tracker. I have some experience with IGP tracks but this is my first with hunting and practical use tracking. Any advice?
So far he’s doing about 200-300 paces, food each step or every other step with both narrow and sharp terms. Very comfortable weaving between and tracking around trees and in tall grass. He’s too fast for IGP standards but to me this seems it would be a good trait in a hunting dog. I’ve introduced shed scent and he does fine with it as long as there’s food in the track too.
Our goal is to take him on his first hunt this season (he will be just over a year old), so any advice would be appreciated! Pic for tax.
Meet Motley, a baby Bloodhound with ears he hasn't quite grown into yet. I changed the background to a soft sage green to give it a more classic portrait feel. This was a commission, painted entirely by hand in oil on canvas. I hope his human sees all the love in it. Would love to know what you think!
My baby maple now 6 months old, they are just the best breed
The ebook is available for preorder and both it and the paperback will be out May 22.
hey, I just had a quick question. I've only recently discovered bloodhounds and I very much just researching the breed.
One of the things I want from our next large dog, is the ability to protect. From my reading on bloodhounds. they are very friendly and typically love people and watch people rob your house, for example.
My question is in the unlikely event that somebody came up to you and was actively being menacing or something that was an actual threat, do you think your bloodhound would be protective?
Has anyone ever had a problem with puppy not wanting to train or learn?
My roommate has a 4month old pup and I feel like the dog doesn’t understand anything she wants from her. Like the puppy isn’t motivated by food or play or toys or affection. She is very fearful too. Dog barking sends her to a panic and she runs away.
Is it normal? I want to help my roommate but I have never had a pup only adult dogs and completely different breeds.
Is there a different way bloodhound brain functions? I mean it’s a working breed but not wired like a shepherd or spaniel so perhaps you have some tips?
