The Bloodhound 639 



Stern (value 5) is like that of all hounds, carried gaily in a gentle curve, 

 but should not be raised beyond a right angle with the back. 



Symmetry (value 10) of the bloodhound, as regarded from an artistic 

 point of view, should be examined carefully and valued in proportion to the 

 degree in which it is developed. The height should be from 25 to 27 inches 

 at the shoulder for dogs, and a little less for bitches. The weight of dogs 

 should be about 90 pounds and upward, bitches somewhat less.
