User added info
The Labloodhound has a deep chest and muscular shoulders along with excess skin around the neck and upper back. Their coats come in black, brown and white, and rusty brown. They may or may not inherit the hound eyes. Their ears are longer than a Labrador but not always as long as a Bloodhound.
Labloodhounds are known to be friendly and generally love everyone they meet. They are curious and high energy so they should be watched carefully. Being both Bloodhound and Labrador they love to track and may take off for hours at a time. They are independent and very intelligent. With firm training and proper socialization they can be a great addition to your family.
Labloodhounds can have skin allergies inherited from their Labrador counterpart and may be prone to ear infections. They have very strong teeth and can be chewers.
Labloodhounds are fairly low maintenance dogs. With regular brushing, baths and a good diet they shed very little and have beautiful shiny coats. They are chewers and keep their teeth in good health. They have good metabolisms and stay nice and lean like a hound with sufficient exercise.
Labloodhounds need sufficient space to run around and burn off excess energy. They are great indoors and are content lying around but as soon as they are outdoors their instincts kick in and they want to track. They need plenty of chew toys to ensure they do not chew anything you do not want them to. A fenced in yard is ideal as they are prone to "following their noses". They are great around kids and other dogs but smaller animals can excite them (cats, squirrels and rabbits). They are very affectionate, loyal and need to be reminded how much they are loved.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
A happy boy. Found him last year in a shelter in WV. He's perfect.

Name:
Sam
Color:
Rusty Brown
Description:
Sam "found" us when he was about a year old. Sam has an excellent temperament. He is easy going, calm, patient, and highly intelligent. Sam fit right in with our lab, malinious, and Yorkie. He loves to be loved and snuggle but usually for only a few minutes at a time. Sam has been known to wander about for a few days at a time, but has always returned safe and soundly (while living in the country without a fence.) However, he's is not secured in the city and has grown to love being an "inside" dog but still loves to lay in the sunshine. Honestly, one of the best dogs one could own.

Description:
We adopted Addi from a family who needed to re-home her. Very loving dog, but can be a bit territorial of new people. She is a wonderful dog and loves affection and cuddling, one of her favorite things is to curl up with us while we watch football on Sunday. If we are in the house, Addi is usually within 5 feet of us to make sure she gets as much attention as possible.

Hi! Sam & Callen. Meet your sister, Nora. Nora is from the same litter. We wondered where here other littermates might be. Great to see the photos. Nora is such a sweetie and such a joy to be around.

Callen
Color:
Black
Description:
We got Callen (and his brother Sam) in June 2014 from a farmer in southern Indiana. Their mom is a Bloodhound show dog in the 4-H fair and dad is their neighbor's full blood black lab. Sam and Callen have the best personality- loving, playful, never met a stranger, and obedient most days. This breed definitely needs space to run and ours love a daily walk. We have enjoyed them so much.

Description:
Tank is the result of a bloodhound breeder living next to a lab breeder and a naughty set of escape artists. He only got the lab color, he is pure fat, lazy hound. He is your classic porch ornament and doesn't use up much energy except when eating. We use him as a therapy dog where we work and he is very popular! We started working on his scent tracking before winter and he's done really well.

Name:
Lucy
Color:
Red with black markings
Description:
This is my princess Lucy Belle, I adopted her from a local rescue and she has proven to be a very smart girl. At only 4 months, she knows how to shake, sit, fetch and is house-broken. She's about 27-28 lbs right now and 16'' tall. She is definitely more hound-like than lab; she's not fond of water and she makes grunting noises all the time like she's talking. She does love to go on runs with me, but she will stop her run at any moment to sniff something. She is very mouthy like a lab, she's very partial to pillows and the corners of my bedspread so I have to watch her like a hawk when she's out of her crate. I keep her in her crate at night and it took about 3 weeks for her to stop crying when she goes in. All in all, I recommend the breed, she's a very loving, happy pup and she loves everyone and everything.

A true good spirit & a recommendation to any family!!! LOVE THE LABLOODHOUND!!!!

Name:
Gump
Color:
red
Description:
We added Gump to our family last Febuary. He is the best dog we have ever owned. He is smart, affectionate and sensitive to those around him. He will track anything and everything so he must be supervised when he isn't on a leash.
He goes to work with us everyday and feels he has a job which we believe makes him better behaved. Our customers look forward to seeing him and even bring him treats regularly.
I would highly recomend a Labloodhound as a ideal dog if you have the time to spend with them because Gump needs alot of attention and affection. Being a large dog we worried about him with customers but he seems to know which ones are dog lovers and which aren't and he waits for their cues before he interacts with them very much. He has proven to be very intelligent and learns very quickly, before he was three months old he was house broke and followed sit, lay down, and shake with hand signals only.

The wrinkles on his forehead always make him look so worried! He definitely inherited the tracking instinct from his bloodhound relatives.

Name:
Duke
Color:
Black
Description:
This is the best dog I've ever had the pleasure of owning. He looks like a lab with long legs and ears. He was super easy to train and is very well behaved. He's great inside; he lay's around all day. He absolutely loves the water. He is a very affectionate dog, wants to be with us all of the time. He's a lap dog trapped in a big dogs body. He weighs 90 pounds, is good with all animals, and has never met a stranger. He hardly ever barks, but when he does it's very deep. I can't say enough good things about this handsome boy.

Name:
Maple
Color:
Rusty
Description:
Maple is a very affectionate 2 year old Labloodhound who loves to play in her 3 acre petfenced yard (which she stricly obeys) in Northern Michigan. Her nose finds her digging large holes in areas of our property (permissable areas only). She has a weakness for bubbles, large ropes, stuffy blankets and a good long belly rub. She is very easily distracted by scents she picks up on, and can sit very contently in her large cage while we are at work. She hates going outside in the rain. She does not over eat, does not eat people food, and get along with everybody. She has a very loud baying bark that we only hear when necessary. Maple is an excellent guard dog for this reason. She also rips up anything that has stuffing in it that you give her (Blankets, stuffed animals, etc.). Many members of our family have donated old comforters to her and she will willingly lay on it supervised without a problem. She will rip it up if you put it in her cage. Overall, as Maple has gotten older, she has been the perfect dog. We do have to have a stern voice with her on certain things she does such as jumping up on people when greeting them, or pawing at people for more attention (which hurts when her nails are sharp). We brush Maple every spring when she loses her "winter fur." Overall, Maple is my first dog and I can't say I complain about anything. She brings joy to my day and I never thought I could care for an animal as much as I do Maple, my Labloodhound!

She has big hound ears and a hound dog snout. She loves to sniff around everywhere, but has the energy and playfulness of a lab. If it were up to her she would swim and play fetch all day long. Her coat is golden with a reddish tint. World'd best dog.
