“The Complete Guide to Bloodhounds book is a great read for the lovers of Bloodhounds. This very detailed book has tons of ‘must know’ information that is extremely helpful in understanding the Bloodhound breed, making it much easier to know what to expect from him or her, and the care necessary for this breed.” Kim Dillon – Sandstone Kennels

When I bought my first Bloodhound, I asked the breeder if there were any crucial items I should buy for my dog. Her answer caught me by surprise. Without hesitation, she replied, "you're going to need two mops: one for the floor and one for the walls."

Their iconic look, sound and ability to track scents all make the Bloodhound stand out amongst the rest. Their natural aptitude for following a scent is so reliable; it can even be used in court. When these dogs aren't helping law enforcement solve cases, their gentle disposition is also used for therapy and rehabilitation. In all, these wonderful dogs are not only a joy to own but are undeniable in their abilities to help humans.
