Meet the dogs

Alpha, Watson and Sherlock: three of the dogs behind our website.

These are three of the dogs that live with our volunteers and help us to remember why we do this.

Watson and Sherlock

Watson and Sherlock are bloodhounds, and members of the family. They are a good picture of what the breed is like at home: relaxed, sociable, happiest in company, and capable of falling asleep in remarkable positions.

If you would like to share your home with a bloodhound, see how to adopt a bloodhound.

Alpha

Alpha is a labrador cross bloodhound. Crosses like Alpha show how the bloodhound’s love of a good sniff can mix with the character of another breed.
