I'm not a breeder, but he doesn't sound like a purebred. Some breeders have bred the brown out of their dogs but without brown markings I know that they are disqualified by the UKC. All of the hounds do however have long floppy ears, so unless your dog has had his ears docked for some reason he probably isn't purebred. If yours is all black and white it might be an American Blue Gascon Hound better know as Old Blue, Old fashioned Blue tick or Big & Blue. The oldest in the hound group & also the lagest in the hound group weighing 110 pounds when full grown. This breed is mostly all black & white/ blue tint no brown w/ a good brindle , grizzle or ticking. Should def. Have long ears. I own a purebred Blue tick that is just blue/black. Has no brown. Great looking dog, he does have long ears. The father was same color as he is but the mother was the "classic" blue. They could have said it was purebred but may only be 3/4 blue and 1/4 ? , just picked up those features. Also I wanted to say that they do not need the brown to meet the standards. *from AKC site.~*Preferred color is a dark blue, thickly mottled body, spotted by various shaped black spots on back, ears and sides. Preference is to more blue than black on body. Head and ears predominately black. With or without tan markings (over eyes, on cheeks, chest and below tail) and red ticking on feet and lower legs. A fully blue mottled body is preferred over light ticking on the body. There should be more blue ticking than white in the body coat. No other colors allowed. Disqualifications: Any color other than that described in the standard. Albinism.d the tan on them. |
