The name Bloodhound:

Comes from “Blooded hound” in reference to their pure blood.

In the 1800s, Americans used bloodhounds and other scent hounds to trail escaped enslaved people.

The Breed:

The large scent bloodhound is a superb tracker with an exceptional sense of smell. Since the Middle Ages, dogs have been bred to hunt deer and wild boars and track people.

The breed is famed for its ability to discern human scent over great distances, even days later. Its keen sense of smell and tenacious tracking instinct make the animal the best law enforcement dog worldwide!

The police use the Bloodhound to track escaped prisoners, missing people, and lost pets.

These dogs sniff corpses buried deep in the ground and dead bodies under lakes.

They are unsuitable for the elderly or families with young children.

Bloodhounds are appropriate for physically fit owners with energy endurance, who can provide the bloodhound with daily exercise and have reasonable control for a large pet.
