the newest member of our family, my fur grandbaby Ace. He is a 6 week old 1/4 pit, 1/2 border collie and 1/4 unknown lol.

So far Marley likes him, although Marley's head is bigger then Ace, and the little ones are in heaven. Samantha on the other hand is learning what "motherhood" is like :jiggy:.

Yeah Marley is a big boy, even for a coonhound. When we got him I knew his parents were of medium size so I wasn't to concerned. Yesterday my friend (who we got him from) came over and it had been a few weeks since she saw him just stared at him, she could not believe how big he is, she said he is twice the size of his siblings.

Blood hounds are generally a little bigger than coon hounds, and they have a droopier face and possibly a bit longer ears, but all in all they are a pretty similar breed. :)

Marley is a really great example of what a coon hound would look like.

A blood hound might look more like:

True, they are similar. Marley is a Walker Coonhound, and they are direct descendants of the English Foxhound, so they have the nose for hunting, even though Marley can rarely find food you throw at him :eek:. They were bread to hunt raccoons and other small animals but out here they are used for bears more then anything, although they practice on raccoons. Marley likes to practice with the cat's, they have a very distinct howl...it sounds like horrible and drives me crazy. Recently though he has discovered coyotes, and that has become his favorite thing to chase.

Here is a full body pic of my baby...

I agree with you!


XOX- your pup is adorable, we wanted a wolf hybrid but because of where we live we were afraid someone would shot him on site and ask questions later...look at what happened to Fatso.

i thought i knew about dogs but America has ones i didn't even know existed. i never would have thought you could have a pet wolf.

There is a guy who comes into my work all the time who has THREE wolves! I forget what he exactly called them, but if you saw them you could see that they are full blooded, wild looking wolves. o__O Like I am scared to pet them even though they look friendly. Wolves were one of my biggest fears as a kid. Which is rediculous considering the amount of R rated movies I watched at that age, because I was afraid of wolves thanks to "The Never Ending Story" LOL!!

On a side note, its funny to come back to this topic because I encountered a blood hound at work today! He was a cutie.

I work at PetSmart lol, nothing special, but I get to see a lot of animals. Mostly dogs, sometimes cats, other than that I have seen anything from, McCaws, other birds, long haired Guinea pigs, Rats, Iguanas, and much more! Not to mention the animals we sell, of course. That's just what I have seen the customers bring in.
