Breed history
Where Bloodhounds come from
Bloodhounds were refined in medieval Europe for trailing human scent over great distances, becoming legendary in law enforcement and search work.
Their loose skin, long ears, and solemn face are functional as well as iconic.
Pet Bloodhounds still need skin care and containment. History explains the nose; fences explain the neighborhood relations.
How the Bloodhound calculator works
1
It uses age and current weight
The calculator uses your puppy's current age and weight to estimate adult size. Because puppies grow fastest early on and then slow down as they mature, the estimate adjusts for the stage of growth your Bloodhound is in.
2
It compares against typical breed growth
Bloodhounds are usually close to full size by around 18 months. As your puppy gets older and more of its growth is already complete, the estimate usually becomes more reliable.
3
It checks the estimate against the usual range
Most adult Bloodhounds fall within a typical weight range of 80-110 lbs. You can use the calculator for younger puppies, but estimates are usually more accurate after about 12 weeks.
