Bloodhound and bloodhound pictures
The Bloodhound is a large, massive, powerful dog breed with loose,
wrinkled skin and drooping ears. It stands over more ground than
is usual with hounds of other breeds. Its skin is thin and extremely
loose. The Bloodhound is a gentle dog breed; it does well with children
and family pets. Its expression is noble and dignified. This dog
breed has an outstanding ability as a scent hound, superior to other
hound, which has made the Bloodhound very useful in police investigations.
Its back is extraordinarily strong for the dog's size. Its powerful
shoulders allow the dog to work for long hours without a break.
It has a tenancy to drool, but is otherwise a very clean dog. The
Bloodhound is determined, responsive, gentle, affectionate, and
sensitive. This is a kind, patient, noble, mild-mannered and lovable
dog. It makes an excellent companion to children. It is very energetic
outdoors and boisterous when young. This breed tends towards willfulness;
it needs firm, but gentle obedience training. The Bloodhound becomes
devoted to its master and gets along well with people. The Bloodhound
can live in harmony with other dogs and household pets. It has a
tendency to howl, snore, and drool. It may sniff inappropriately
or wander off on the trail of an interesting scent. The Bloodhound
is able to follow any scent, even human, which is a rare ability
in a dog. This breed has been said to successfully follow trails
over 100 hours old. The Bloodhound is so determined that it has
been known to stay with the trail for over 100 miles. This breed
is used worldwide for rescue and criminal searches. The Bloodhound's
evidence is admissible in the court of law. The Bloodhound cannot
be walked off leash, when it gets on a scent it flees; its instinct
drives it to find the end of the trail. |
