Mastiff Bloodhound Mix
A Mastiff Bloodhound mix is a cross between a Mastiff and a Bloodhound. Most grow into giant dogs of 100–170 lb and live 8–11 years.


Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Mastiff Bloodhound Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Mastiff Bloodhound Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 25–28 inches at the shoulder, against 27.5–30 in for the Mastiff and 23–27 in for the Bloodhound.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.
The Mastiff rates moderate and the Bloodhound low; a puppy may lean either way.
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.
