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.
