Meet Portia. How can anyone resist that face? She is super sweet and so loving.
We know that her mother was a Bloodhound and daddy was a black lab. With these two breeds she is sure to top the scales at 80+ pounds.
Yes she is cute but please do research on the Bloodhound if you're seriously thinking about applying for her. Consider
her large size as an adult, the food requirements and vet bills.
A fence will be required. Bred to trail under any condition, the Bloodhound does not stop once it’s on a trail. Therefore, being that she needs regular exercise, she should be kept in an enclosed area when outside.
Training as a youngster - it can be difficult to train a Bloodhound because of its playfulness, stubbornness, toughness and independence. These characteristics, however, are what make the Bloodhound a loyal companion.
