Bloodhound Dog Breed
Information Profile
 Bloodhound
Dog Breed History:
Originally known
as the Chien de St. Hubert, the Bloodhound originated in the
Ardenne region of Central Europe, and has been used as a
scent hound since the early 1800's. The Bloodhound is a very
powerful scenting dog, with loose skin that hangs in deep
folds, especially around the head and neck. Their natural
tracking ability has made the breed invaluable to hunters,
law enforcement and search and rescue for many years.
Bloodhound
Breed Description:
Bloodhounds are
large dogs that stand from 23 to 27 inches, and weigh from
90 to 110 pounds.
Bloodhound
Temperament:
Extremely
affectionate, devoted and somewhat shy, Bloodhounds get
along very well with other dogs and love people - especially
children. They are sensitive and somewhat shy, a trait that
is very endearing and also makes them very intelligent and
easy to train. These noble and dignified dogs have an
appearance of wisdom and solemnity, and their extremely
gentle and good-natured dispositions have made them quite
popular throughout North America and abroad.
Coat colors can
be black and tan, liver and tan or red, with the darker
colors being sometimes interspersed with lighter hair. Due
to their hound instincts, Bloodhounds should never be
allowed to have free range without supervision, as their
noses can lead them into hot water.
Exercise and
grooming needs are moderate - a good daily walk and a weekly
brushing will keep them healthy and happy.
