About the Breed
Known for its scenting skills, the Bloodhound was probably developed from an old breed known as the St Hubert Hound, which was brought to Europe by soldiers returning from the Crusades before the Middle Ages. It was introduced to Britain by the Normans after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. As a result of the careful breeding of these hounds, they became known as ‘blooded hounds’, which, in turn, was presumably shortened simply to Bloodhounds.
In spite of their name, these are not aggressive dogs and make good family pets. They will need long walks, however, where their scenting skills will soon become apparent. Bloodhounds are surprisingly sensitive by nature and respond best to encouragement rather than criticism. You will need to watch their pendulous ears, as these are easily damaged. The eyes, too, can suffer from problems, while the wrinkled skin on their head may provide a focus for local infections. Bloodhounds usually prove hardy and tenacious by nature. They are bred in several colours, notably combinations of black and tan and liver and tan, as well as red. Small areas of white on the chest, feet and at the tip of the tail will not be penalized for show purposes.
The Bloodhound descends from an old breed introduced into England from Normandy by William the Conqueror and used successively as a hunting dog for red deer by William Rufus, patrol dog by the mediaeval curfew men and later as a tracking dog by the police. Trained dogs have been known to follow trails over 100 hours old with success. Not often used for tracking criminals now these hounds are still trained and trails are held.
