That's a good looking dog, I have a 3 year old male and this is my second bloodhound, I love those dogs,but they dirty, when they shake there head the juices go flying and both of my bloodhounds would chew up everything,he will stop after awhile, great dogs.
Yep, I peel dried slobber off the walls every day

he drags his ears through everything. We have wet wipes stashed all over the house to clean his ears or the get all crusty and nasty.
