Bloodhound Dog

Bloodhound Dog Breed

Although the bloodhound is one of those dogs that has a lazy facial expression and is often found lying around the house, do not let these characteristics fool you. This dog can be an extremely focused and energetic tracker once he catches a trail scent. And the bloodhound is known to be very independent, tough, and often times a bit stubborn. However, he is also one of the most gentle dog breeds a family can have under their roof.
