Huckleberry Hound

Huckleberry Hound (nicknamed Huck) is the title character in The Huckleberry Hound Show. He was voiced by Daws Butler. 
== About Huck ==
===Appearance===
Huckleberry is an anthropomorphic blue dog that speaks with a deep Southern drawl and has a cheerful, relaxed personality. He mainly wears a small zig-zag straw boater hat with a polka-dot band, or occasionally a black top hat, and a bright red bow tie.
===Huck's adventures and jobs===
His shorts are usually in one of two formats. In some episodes, he tries to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with results that backfire, yet he usually comes out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck. Huck didn't seem to exist in one specific time period as he has also been a Cowboy, a Roman gladiator, a Medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He lives in the city of Hill Street Neighborhood, known as the city of music, which is known for the most famous store in the world, Maple Mall. He's also known for chasing the ice cream truck, whenever he sees, or hears it.
One regular antagonist is Powerful Pierre, a tall and muscular unshaven character with a French accent. Other regular villains are Dinky Dalton, a tough western outlaw that Huck usually has to capture, and Crazy Coyote, an Indian chief who Huck often had to defeat who was his match. There were also two crows with Mafia accents who often annoyed Farmer Huck. 
A trademark of Huck is his tone-deaf and off-key rendition of "Oh My Darling, Clementine". However, in the short "Legion Bound Hound", it is also the name of his ex-fiancée, whom he tries unsuccessfully to forget. He also commonly uses the phrase "and stuff like that there" in place of "and so on". Other traits include his ability to extend his body, including his tail, his strategy of winning people over by winking his left eye, and his habit of giggling, even at the smallest of things. He also has a secret weapon known as the "Huckleberry Howler", where he takes a deep breath and lets out a howl, although he usually howls the word "hound".
While he did appear in a major role in most Hanna-Barbera spin-offs, Huck was put back into the spotlight in his own television film The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound, where he is a reluctant town sheriff bringing the Dalton Brothers to justice and falls in love with the Native American girl named Desert Flower, hence the film's title. This was also Daws Butler's last performance as Huck and several other of his characters before his death. 
His birthday is 17 January. He is said to be one of the last living members of his family, though he has five sisters, four brothers, a grandfather known as "Grampy", and his two-year-old crybaby nephew Hector. Huck has had five love interests: Hilda, a female hound that looks just like him; Daphne, a poodle; Kitty Hound, a white hound with blond hair; Clementine Darling, a pink hound; and Desert Flower, a Native American yellow hound. The last of whom he ended up marrying and having children with.
== History ==
Based on the Southern Wolf character in the 1953 Droopy short "Three Little Pups", Huck was voiced by Daws Butler, who had given a similar voice and characterization to Reddy. Butler denied he based the voice on Carolinian actor Andy Griffith, as well as a neighbor he once knew, and had been using it since the late 1940s. For his part, Joseph Barbera recalls in his memoir, My Life in 'Toons, that when asked to demonstrate a Southern drawl, Butler noted where there were a number of regional variants thereof. Butler kept voicing Huck until his death in 1988, as all of his recordings of Huck were completed prior, and Greg Burson took on the role in 1989. Huck's voice was originally loud, enthusiastic and joyful to fit his occupation of a circus showman. As the show progressed, his voice became deeper and calmer.
In Jellystone!, his voice and characterization are more similar to children's television host Fred Rogers. Huck is also mentioned to have been divorced three times. Huckleberry Hound is revealed to be gay in the season three episode Disco Fever.
