Huckleberry Hound is a fictional cartoon character created by Hanna-Barbera, and the star of the late 1950s animated series The Huckleberry Hound Show, Hanna-Barbera's second series made for television after The Ruff & Reddy Show. The Huckleberry Hound Show was probably the series that truly made Hanna-Barbera a household name, thanks to Huckleberry (or "Huck" as he was sometimes nicknamed) and the two supporting segments of the show: Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo-Boo, and Pixie and Dixie, two mice who in each short found a new way to outwit the cat Mr. Jinks. After Yogi Bear was given his own show in 1961, his segment was replaced with one featuring Hokey Wolf and his sidekick Ding-a-Ling. http://www. ...

Voiced by Daws Butler, Huckleberry was a blue dog that spoke with a southern drawl, with a relaxed, well-intentioned personality. Most of his shorts consisted of Huck trying to find employment in different fields, ranging from policeman to (ironically enough) dogcatcher, with backfiring results.

After his original series ran its course, Huck continued to make appearances in other Hanna-Barbera series, mainly as a supporting character for his former costar, Yogi. Huck appeared in such series as Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Space Race, and even as a teenager in the series Yo, Yogi!. Huck was also the star of one of the 1980s made-for-television movie, The Good, The Bad, and Huckleberry Hound. Yogis Gang (produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1973) brings Yogi Bear and Boo Boo accompanied with various Hanna-Barbera classical characters (as Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Wally Gator, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, Magilla Gorilla, Peter Potamus, Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, among others), who appear flying around...
