Labloodhound Build Information
The Labloodhound is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Bloodhound, so many of its characteristics are derived from either or both of these two breeds. Physically, this dog generally will have a deep chest, with powerful shoulders, along with obvious loose skin in the areas around the upper back and the neck. Colors most often run to black, brown, or a combination of white and brown. Ears are often longer than their Labrador parent, but not always as long as those of the Bloodhound.

This is a very friendly dog, but because it’s so full of energy, it should be watched carefully around youngsters. It often inherits the tracking instincts of its parents, and is quite happy to follow the trail for hours at a time. It’s also an intelligent dog, quick to learn and accepting of training, so it can be a very good family dog.
