I would like to introduce my Bloodhound, King. He is one year old, roughly 110 pounds (50 kg) and counting. He lives in Southfield Michigan with his Basset Hound housemate, Maggie.
One of the things that makes King special is that due to a rare recessive gene he has a long coat. This makes him extra soft and fluffy, and very unique. King is also one of only five Bloodhounds with a Novice Trick Dog title through Do More With Your Dog, and can perform tricks such as speak, wave, spin, jump through a hoop, and take a bow to finish it off. His registered name is Thunder Valley"s Fairy King Harlequin NTD.
Despite his immense size, King"s favorite spot to lounge is on my bay windowsill where he can watch out the window and take a nice nap in the sun. His favorite activities, besides annoying his older sister, include chasing bubbles in the back yard, and going to work with his mom who is a dog trainer. King turns heads wherever he goes. Kids are often scared of him because he"s so big, but he absolutely loves all people and other dogs. Really, he is a big love bug, though living with him often feels like living with a well-intentioned bear.
Many people don"t think hounds are very smart, but King is here to prove them wrong. Recently he learned to open all the doors in my house, much like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. He loves learning new things and has even tried his paw at agility.
Overall, King is a handsome, funny and sweet boy.
