Bloodhound

The Bloodhound’s ancestors were created in medieval France to trail deer and boar. Today, this is a highly active and intelligent dog breed whose keen sense of smell has found them a special place in law enforcement and search and rescue. Their fans love them for their sweet nature and unique appearance.

Although this is a purebred dog, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescue groups. Consider adoption if this is the breed for you.
