Bloodhound
While still in proportion the ideal Bloodhound has a large head and wrinkled face with pronounced lips and throat giving him a solemn expression. The eyes are deep sunken and the lids form a diamond shape. The skin may pull the lower eyelids down giving that "morning after" look. The ears hang low and are long and soft. The neck is long, allowing the hound to follow a trail with his nose to the ground without tiring. The shoulders should be muscular and sloped back with good angulation front and rear. The chest should be deep with the ribs well sprung. Feet should be well knuckled and the coat is short.
