Nothing definite of the breed's origin can be traced beyond the fact that a breed of hunting dogs had been bred at the monastery of St. Hubert in the Ardennes from about the seventh century. The extremely keen nose of the breed led to its being used as a tracker of criminals, such as sheep-stealers, poachers and robbers, and even to-day the police occasionally make use of the Bloodhound when searching for wrong-doers and escaped convicts. Few breeds other than Bloodhounds have attained show ring popularity without losing some of their working ability, but it is fairly safe to presume that nearly all the show dogs of this breed to-day can follow a scent several hours cold."Please note our policy of FREE Shipping and Insurance worldwide on all orders of $10.00 and above.
