Description
Dog Breed: Bloodhound. Waylon is a handsome almost 2 years old Bloodhound who was raised on 10 acres of land with his brother Rufus, but due to the family moving to a house without a yard, both boys were surrendered to our rescue upon initial intake exam, were both found to have severe upper respiratory infections as well as in desperate need of Entropion surgery due to inward curving of both the top and bottom eyelids that had become very painful! He was neutered and had his eye surgery on 12/1 and treated with a round of Doxycycline and is now back to being ridiculously handsome with a full recovery! He loves to play, loves water and will gladly take any attention as well as praise that you can give him! He needs a yard with a fence because he is known to try to escape his nighttime kennel but he’s a good looking fella who needs a home and family of his very own!

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.
