Pounds. The dark band is where most Poodle Bloodhound Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 20–26 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 23–27 in for the Bloodhound.

Size figures assume a Standard Poodle parent, the size closest to the Bloodhound. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to moderate

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

Moderate

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

Trainability

Low to very high

The Poodle rates very high and the Bloodhound low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. 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.
