Barbet

The Barbet is an archetypic water dog that originates in France. It appears in artwork as early as the 16th century. This breed is very intelligent and is able to learn new things quickly. When their exercise needs are met, they’re a dog that’s calm and easy to live with. A Barbet tends to be very social and loyal as well. Not only that, but this breed is an agile athlete which has been used to locate, flush and retrieve birds.

Bloodhound

Bloodhounds are most definitely not small dogs. They stand 23 to 27 inches at the shoulder and can weigh up to 110 pounds. This breed has a very memorable look, with a long wrinkled face, huge drooping ears, and warm, deep-set eyes. They typically are pack dogs, meaning that they enjoy company such as other dogs and kids. They’re easygoing, but they can get into some trouble during walks by sniffing around endlessly.
