This is Pat McPunkin (right), a Hound Dog made by Boyds. Pat has all the features of a bloodhound, black saddle back and long floppy ears. Next to Pat is Trapper the Douglas Bloodhound. We also have a Nat & Jules Demdaco Bloodhound dog. You'll find bloodhound plush toy dogs in the gift shop. You'll find bloodhounds here.
The Bloodhound comes in several color variations. Some are black and tan, liver and tan or red. They are large, massive and powerful dogs, from 23 to 27 inches and weigh anywhere from 90 to 110 pounds. The skin over the forehead and cheeks is wrinkled and loose.
As the name says, these are hounds and they have a wonderful sense of scent and are used in detective work.
Bloodhounds are sensitive and reserved, timid, good natured and loveable. They do not make good guard dogs because of their good nature.
This breed is more than 1000 years old. These dogs were developed by the monks of St. Hubert in Belgium.
