The Bloodhound is believed to have hailed from hounds once reared at the Abbey of Saint-Hubert, Belgium. This breed is famous for its ability to smell humans from great distances, even days later. Its extraordinarily sharp sense of smell, coupled with a strong and determined tracking instinct, make it an ideal scent hound, This breed is used by police all over the globe to track down escaped prisoners, missing people, lost children, and lost pets.

Because of its strong tracking instinct, it can have a mind of its own and it may become challenging to obedience train and handle on a leash. Bloodhounds have an affectionate and even-tempered disposition with humans, making excellent family pets. However, like any pet, they also need supervision when around small children.
