Southern Pride Bloodhound's
|
Bloodhounds (also known as the St. Hubert hound) is a large breed of dog
that was bred specifically to track human beings by scent. It is famed for its
ability to follow scents hours or even days old over great distances. Its
extraordinarily keen nose is combined with a strong and tenacious tracking
instinct, producing the ideal scenthound or blood tracking dog, and it is used
by police and law enforcement the world over to track escaped prisoners,
missing persons, and even missing animals.
Bloodhounds are a gentle dog which is nonetheless tireless in following a
scent. Because of its strong tracking instinct, it can be willful and somewhat
difficult to obedience train. Bloodhounds have an affectionate, gentle, and
even-tempered nature, so they make excellent family pets. However, like any
large breed, they require supervision when around small children because
they can knock them over with their bulk. Bloodhounds are also characterized
by a stubborn "what's-in-it-for-me?" attitude, a likely cause (in conjunction
with their size and propensity for excessive drooling) for the high rate, in
comparison with other breeds, of bloodhounds given up for adoption once
full-grown.
Bloodhounds weigh from 80 to 140 lb. They stand 23 to 27 inches high at the
withers. According to the AKC standard of the breed, larger dogs are to be
preferred by conformation judges. The acceptable colors for bloodhounds are
black and tan, liver and tan, or red. In the Middle Ages, they also occurred in
other solid colors, including white (on chest, toes and tail) – colors that
appear in other breeds descended from the early bloodhounds. Bloodhounds
possess an unusually large skeletal structure with most of their weight
concentrated in their bones, which are very thick for their length. The coat is
typical for a scenthound: hard and composed of fur alone, with no admixture
of hair.
