Bloodhounds

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Bloodhounds have saved countless lives with her abilities, and she is one of the most commonly used police dog breeds. She’s such a staple in the field that she’s actually earned the nickname “sleuth hound.” With upwards of 230 million scent receptors and legendary determination, this large scenthound can track for miles over rugged terrain and has the strongest sense of smell in the dog world. The bloodhound’s superhero nose is almost matched in its power by her stubbornness.

They are also wonderful, affectionate and friendly family dogs.  They do tend to wander, lead astray by their noses.  I found ours to be an excellent choice, though my Wife & Daughter got him when I was on a business trip.  Unfortunately he got a torsion and though we recognized it immediately, and rushed him to the vet, he died in surgery.  I miss him still.  Who knows, when one of our current pack passes, I might get another.

Note: They are one of the oldest recognized dog breeds, so have been friends to humans for a very long time!st
