The Bloodhound dates back to a very far time in the past much earlier than the Crusades. The first of this breed appeared in Europe during that time when they came from Constantinople. There were two types; white and black. They have been recognized in America for more than a century and have proved to be diligent as a part of law enforcement. In fact, they are so precise that any evidence uncovered by these dogs is accepted in court cases.

Often labeled as a distinctive appearing dog wearing a baggy suit, the Bloodhound carries the honor of being among the oldest dog breeds that search through the use of scent. While affection animals, these dogs can be shy at times and are sensitive to the attitudes of their owners. Bloodhounds are available in liver and tan, red, black and tan, and occasionally have white flecks. The name Bloodhound doesn't describe what they trail but indicates the breed's position as a "blooded hound." This translates to aristocratic because so much effort was invested in the beginning to keep their strain pure. Bloodhounds are incredibly loving but they are also very much "in charge" dogs.

For that reason, owners must be kind but also the unchallenged boss in the house. These dogs need to be groomed weekly in order to get rid of any dead hair. They also need a fixed routine that keeps them looking, feeling and smelling better. If a Bloodhound puppy would add much to your family, you may find the perfect one in these ads.
