Bloodhound Dog
The Bloodhound (also called the Chien de Saint-Hubert) is a tough dog that stands its ground. Otherwise, it's just what you'd expect of a scent-hunting hound dog. With a keen nose, the bloodhound is widely used as a police dog. Bloodhounds' specialty is tracking people, whether kidnap victims or escaped criminals.
Here are the characteristics of the Bloodhound breed as determined by the American Kennel Club's published breed standard.
The Bloodhound breed is known to be affectionate and easy-going with humans and other dogs. Many people also find bloodhounds shy. As a hound dog, a bloodhound generally needs plenty of outdoor time and opportunity to be active.
Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behaviour. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
