Do Bloodhounds like water of any kind? Swimming, bathing etc.

I have a ten month old bloodhound named Dixe. I purchased her from a reputable breeder and she is AKC registered. I love this dog and she is responsive to me, though, as I researched before getting her, she shows stubbornness. However, my fiance is a different story. Dixie will not listen to her and, in fact, seems to regress when I am not around. She does whatever she pleases when only with my fiance, but when I come home, acts like an angel. It's bad enough to where she wants to get rid of the dog, though I won't let her. How can I get the dog to respect her the way the dog respects me?

my bloodhound is almost 2 yrs old, and she is getting aggressive over nothing at all, and i am concerned about it. i don't know what to do about it, any ideas?

She might be an alpha female. Ours is like that. She dominates our male but has never shown aggression towards any humans. I try to deter ours by getting in front of her or distracting her.

I have a 10 month old son and we are considering getting a bloodhound puppy. How are they around small children? Are females generally better with children or does the sex of the dog matter?

I'm considering getting a bloodhound, but need to know if anyone has problems with excessive barking. I know dogs bark and I can tolerate some, but constant barking isn't going to work.

no ours is not a barking but he does talk alot. He is the most talkitive dog I have ever had.

when should i start serious training with my blood hound? he is 5 months and he is a bad boy. He jumps and bites when we aren't messing around

you should have started training as early as 6 weeks! You need to understand that now it will be harder to train your dog but it still can be done. You just have to be consistent and don't forget to used puppy treats! They work wonders. Or just use turkey breast lunch meat....that always does the trick.

how much would a five to six month bloodhound need to eat??

Do bloodhounds like to swim?

becareful mine will jump in our pool if I am not watching

yes- the one I have loves to swim - just like a lab

Has anyone ever seen a bloodhound english bulldog mix? I just got a puppy from my neighbor. Just curious to see what she will look like full grown.

Yes, We have a 1yr old bloodhound english bulldog mix. She is about 80lbs with a wrinkled face and a bulldog body. She is just the cutest thing we have ever seen. Also she loves to swim.

can anyone help me with the hound smell. what secrets can you give? I do the regular grooming but the odor wont go away. I have tried the doggy deodorants but they really dont help.

Try good old fashioned pure vanilla extract! It works, I have used it on my dogs matress's for years, they have their own childrens beds. Any way just sprinkle a few drops on a carpet, or wash an item down them apply vanilla liberaly! It works trust me!

I have a litter of bloodhounds 12 reds I think? Someone just told me that my pups with pink noses are liver and the ones with the black noses are the red ones? I'm getting confued? Can anyone tell me any thing about the colors?

unsure on the red or liver but pink nose dogs are pet quality only and should not be allowed to breed.If registered dogs please sell all on limited registration.

How much does a 6 month female bloodhound typically weigh? I think mine is underweight?

A full grown female weighs typically 80-90 pounds. I would imagine a 6 month old female would weigh around 60-70. If you think your dog is underweight talk to your veternarian and if you don't have a vet you shouldn't have a dog....
