Coat, energy and training

Shedding
Moderate

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy
Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability
Moderate

The Mastiff rates moderate and the Bloodhound low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming
Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Mastiff is usually described as courageous, dignified, good-natured. The Bloodhound as friendly, independent, inquisitive. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
