He’s a sweet, social, and endlessly affectionate boy who wants nothing more than to love and be loved. Oscar is playful, people-oriented, and wonderfully gentle. He’s great with other dogs, enjoys the dog park, and gets along with humans of all ages. He’s the kind of dog who will lean into you for pets, follow you from room to room, and melt your heart with his sad-eyed charm. Like all hounds, he has a sharp nose…and an occasional mischievous streak! Clothing with strong scents (like workout gear) needs to stay in the hamper, or Oscar may decide it’s a chew toy. He’s fully crate-trained and potty-trained, sleeps well indoors, and will happily snuggle in bed if allowed. Oscar did have a broken leg as a pup, but it’s completely healed, and he’s in excellent health now. He’s not a heavy drooler except after a big drink of water, and he’s otherwise easygoing and low-maintenance for his size. He must be kept on leash outdoors, as his tracking instincts are strong. Oscar thrives on companionship and consistency… he’s happiest in a home where he’s part of the daily rhythm and receives plenty of attention, playtime, and gentle guidance. Summary: 3 years old, 95 lbs, black & tan Crate & potty trained Exceptionally social and affectionate Great with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages Healed leg injury (no ongoing issues) Must stay leashed outdoors Oscar is the ultimate loyal buddy…sensitive, loving, and always ready for the next adventure (or nap) by your side.

Overview:
The Bloodhound is an ancient and noble breed, primarily known for its exceptional sense of smell, believed to be the keenest of any dog. Originating in medieval France and developed by monks, they were initially used for tracking deer and other game. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs with characteristic loose skin, deep wrinkles, and long, drooping ears that help funnel scents. Their temperament is generally gentle, patient, and good-natured, making them surprisingly suitable for families with children, though their size and tracking instincts require supervision. While their calm demeanor might suggest apartment living is possible, their need for significant outdoor exercise and a secure yard to prevent them from following a scent trail makes them better suited to homes with space. Health-wise, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as bloat, making careful breeding and proper diet crucial. Their distinctive appearance and unparalleled tracking ability make them a truly unique and beloved companion.
