Bloodhound

Whether fulfilling the role of large game dog, service canine or companion, Bloodhounds are always brimming with energy.

About the Bloodhound

Bloodhounds are imposing dogs of great nobility, reinforced by their solemn appearance. Despite this, Bloodhounds are extremely affectionate dogs with a gentle nature.

Their exceptional nose is legendary, so it’s no surprise that Bloodhounds are often used to search for missing persons in North America.
