According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Websitebloodhounds have an interesting history.
The bloodhound as we know it was perfected in Western Europe about a thousand years ago. The careful development of this variety is a credit to high-ranking members of the pre-Reformation church. In the Middle Ages, even bishops rode hounds, and many prominent monarchs of the Church kept packs of hounds on the grounds of their well-funded English and French monasteries. The monks tasked with running the bishop's breeding program were so careful that their hounds became known as “bloodhounds” (“blood” meaning “of noble blood”). It became.
In the centuries since then, the noble bloodhound has earned a reputation as an unparalleled human tracker. Police forces around the world have relied on these muscular, single-minded hounds to track the scent of humans, including criminals, lost children, and disoriented elderly people. The mission may last day and night, over hills and across swamps, but Bloodhound won't give up until he follows the path to the end. Even in this day and age of high technology, no device has yet been invented that emits a scent as accurately as a bloodhound's nose.
The AKC also described Bloodhounds as independent, friendly, and curious.
