Bloodhound

aka Sleuth Houndaka St. Hubert Houndaka The Nose That Walks

"The greatest tracking nose ever built — housed in a face of pure, ancient sorrow."

Relentless. Regal. Remarkably wrinkled.

The Story Behind the Breed

The Bloodhound's history begins with the monks of St. Hubert's Abbey in Belgium around 1000 AD. A Bloodhound can follow a trail that is over 300 hours old. Their nose contains 300 million scent receptors — the most of any breed on earth.

"Relentless. Regal. Remarkably wrinkled."
