About the Bloodhound:
Bloodhound information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

Today the Bloodhound is best known for it's tracking and search and rescue abilities. They are very determined once following a scent trail and may not listen when called back. Despite their large size they are quite gentle with children and other animals. This is not a dog for city living, they need to walk several miles a day and be able to run in a large enclosed space. Bloodhounds are very strong and should not be walked by small children alone. It should also be noted that this is not the breed for the obsessively neat, their drooping lips give them the ability to fling saliva everywhere.
