Well, hound applies to any dog, a Chihuahua could be called a hound. A lot of dogs don't have floppy ears, the more intimidating guard dogs usually don't, German Shepherds and Dobermans usually don't. The only serious guard dog I can think of that have floppy ears are Rottweilers and poodles (leave it to the french to make a poofy attack dog...). Granted I'm no expert on dogs but I'm reasonably certain that most of the breeds bred to be attack and guard dogs have pointed ears. Even if I'm wrong on that, I know that wild dogs have pointed ears which would fit the hellhounds untameable bit.

Though a floppy eared kobold would be adorable.
