So far ive categorized hound as really affectionate, wanting to be a lap dog, attuned to you every feeling (not necessarily your every wish). With this temperament i get the "hound" ear. Longish and floppy
Terrier as affectionet but aloof, quick to go after something, but your feelings be damed if it gets in the way of what there after. Oh there always sorry, but the terrier fire comes to play. Agian i use the ears on these dogs ive seen the ears are small and dont need gluing.
Hope that made sense.

I am sure there are all kinds Jessie, but overall, that does not sound like many of the hounds I have been around. Sounds like the potlickers of the hound world. The ones I have been around get the job done and are top hounds. They are single minded, one way dogs with heads likje bricks and make crappy pets. I haven't been around any like in "Where the Red Fern Grows " but those dogs were loose all the time which may have toned them down. The ones I have been around are penned all the time so when they are loose, they focus only on the hunt. Besides, if the were loose they would be gone.
The houndy look I think is in the ears and soulfull eyes, bigger heads and it is just that....a look more so than the demeanor.

I know your comparison was of the differences of type but, unless you have been around more of the show type, it may not be totally valid. You have been around several big types. The girl you have may be obsessive compulsive but are all of that type?
