Introduction

Renowned for their exceptional tracking ability, Bloodhounds are imposing scent hounds with a distinctive, droopy-eyed look and loose, wrinkled skin. Gentle and patient, they make friendly family pets but require patient training due to their independent nature. Despite their large size, they possess a calm temperament and are not overly energetic, making them suitable for various living situations, though they thrive with regular, moderate exercise.
