Description

The Bloodhound is a very powerful, massive hound dog. The back is very strong for the dog's size. The head is long and narrow in proportion to the dog's length, and long in proportion to the body. The muzzle is long and the nose is black. The deeply sunk eyes are diamond in shape due to the lower lids being dragged down and turned outward by the heavy upper lids. Color varies from a deep hazel to yellow. The thin, soft, drooping ears are set very low and extremely long. The Bloodhound has a lot of extra, wrinkled skin hanging excessively loose, even more so around the head and neck where it hangs in deep folds. The dewlap is very pronounced. The muscular, front legs are straight. The tail is carried high with a slight curve above the topline of the back. The folds of the skin aid the dog in holding in scent particles while tracking. The coat is wrinkled, short and fairly hard in texture, with softer hair on the ears and skull. Colors include black & tan, liver & tan, red & tawny and red. Sometimes there is a small amount of white on the chest, feet and tip of the stern.

Temperament

The Bloodhound is a kind, patient, noble, mild-mannered and lovable dog. Gentle, affectionate and excellent with children, this is truly a good natured companion. These dogs are so good-natured that they will lie there and meekly let children clamber all over them. This breed loves all the attention they receive from them. To be fair to your Bloodhound, make sure your children do not pester or hurt the dog, because Bloodhounds will sit there and take it. Very energetic outdoors and boisterous when young, determined and independent, Bloodhounds need firm, but not heavy handed training. An owner who displays anything but a natural, calm but stern authority will bring out a streak of willfulness. The new owner of a Bloodhound will need to have plenty of patience and possess great tact for consistent leadership for training to succeed. Clear rules need to be set and followed. If you show signs of being a meek owner, this dog will not listen to you. Do not expect too much by way of obedience from this dog. They are naturally gentle animals but they are not easy to obedience train. If they catch a scent of something it can be hard to redirect their attention back to you if you are out of physical range of them. Males go through puberty between the age of 1 and 2 years. They can be quite a handful at that time and one really needs to make sure they are being a firm pack leader, but after age 2, with the proper leadership, training, stimulation and consistency, they will mellow out a bit. Socialize well to prevent them from becoming timid. It is very important that this dog is taken for a daily pack walk. Bloodhounds that are lacking in mental and/or physical exercise will be hard to handle. A Bloodhound becomes devoted to its master and gets along well with people. This dog loves everyone and some will greet wanted and unwanted visitors happily. Others do not welcome unwanted guests. They can be protective of their domain if no one is home, but out on a trail, they will welcome anyone. Some will bark and let you know when strangers are around. They can live in harmony with other dogs and household pets. Bloodhounds are droolers and have a tendency to snore and howl. Their noses are so superb that it is hard for them to not wander off after an interesting scent. They may also sniff humans in places that are considered inappropriate. While humans see this as rude, the dog is actually learning a lot about them. Bloodhounds are able to follow any scent, even human—a rare ability in a dog. This breed has been said to successfully follow trails over 100 hours old. He is so determined that he has been known to stay with the trail for over 100 miles. The Bloodhound is such a sure tracker that the breed is used worldwide for rescue and criminal searches. The Bloodhound's evidence is admissible in the court of law. One Bloodhound brought about 600 criminal arrests and convictions. Bloodhounds can never be kept in an unfenced yard. There is a good chance instinct will lead them to wander off if they are off leash. They flee when they get on a scent; instinct drives them to find the end of the trail.

Height, Weight

Height: Males 25 - 27 inches (63 – 69 cm) Females 23 - 25 inches (58 – 63 cm)

Weight: Males 90 - 110 pounds (41 – 50 kg) Females 80 - 100 pounds (36 – 45 kg)

Health Problems

This breed is prone to bloat. You should feed two or three small meals a day instead of one large one. Avoid exercise after meals. Some suffer from stomach cramps. Prone to hip dysplasia, cherry eye, ear infections and entropion, where the eyelids turn inward. A padded bed is recommended to avoid calluses on the joints.

Living Conditions

The Bloodhound will do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. They are relatively inactive indoors and do best with at least an average-sized yard.

Bloodhounds love a good run and need a lot of exercise. They should be taken for a long daily walk. However, if it picks up an interesting scent, you may find it difficult to get its attention. They have an incredible level of stamina and can walk for hours on end. They would greatly enjoy hiking with you, but keep in mind their urge to investigate any interesting scent. Do not overtire them with walks until they are fully grown. The Bloodhound is a big dog that grows rapidly and needs all its energy for developing strong bones, joints and muscles.

Life Expectancy

About 10-12 years

Litter Size

Average 8 – 10, some have been known to have up to 15 pups in one litter

The smooth, shorthaired coat is easy to groom. Groom with a hound glove, and bathe only when necessary. A rub with a rough towel or chamois will leave the coat gleaming. Clean the long, floppy ears regularly. Bloodhounds have a distinctive dog-type odor. This breed is an average shedder.

This breed is more than one thousand years old. It was perfected, not created, by monks of St. Hubert in Belgium. Later the dogs were brought by the Normans into England and then to the United States. It is also known as the Flemish Hound. Throughout the world, breeds such as the American Coonhounds, Swiss Jura Hounds, Brazilian Fila Brasileiro, Bavarian Mountain Hound, and many others trace their lineage back to this ancient scent tracker. Today, all Bloodhounds are black & tan or red, but in the Middle Ages they were solid in color. The white variety, which existed in medieval Europe, was called the Talbot Hound and became extinct in the 1600s, but contributed to the development of many other breeds including the white Boxers and tri-colored Basset Hounds. The Bloodhound thrives on the hunt rather than the kill. It takes great pleasure in tracking and has been used to hunt animals, criminals, runaway slaves and lost children. Today this slow mannered, rich sounding breed is both tracker and companion. Although it has a pleasant temperament, it is not easy to obedience train, most likely largely due to the fact that it gets distracted from human command, more interested in all of the exciting strong smells around him.

Difference Between Bloodhound and Coonhound

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Naveen

Bloodhound vs Coonhound

Bloodhounds and coonhounds exhibit many differences between each other, and it is not very difficult to separate them. Their countries of origin, some physical characteristics, the extents of smelling sense, and colourations would be good differentiating factors for bloodhounds and coonhounds.

Bloodhound is a large breed originated in Belgium, and it was bred to hunt deer and bear. They are also known as St. Hubert hound and Sleuth hound. They have an extremely powerful sense of smell, and later this skill was developed to tract humans by scent. Therefore, bloodhound is a very good breed to use in police and other armed forces to track the escaped prisoners, criminals, or missing people, because of their extraordinarily blessed nose. Their body weight ranges between 33 and 50 kilograms, while the height at withers is about 58 – 69 centimetres. Usually, they are either black and tan or liver and tan in colour. Bloodhounds have a large skeleton with very strong bones, which make them very thick for their length. However, these are gentle dogs with a short and rough coat of fur. They are more prone to gastrointestinal problems viz. bloat and some infections in eyes and ears. Usually, bloodhounds are not a long-lived breed, and the average life span is less than seven years.

Coonhound is a scent hound dog of the hound family, and they were originated in the United States for the purposes of quarry and foxhunting. Even nowadays, they are being used for hunting purposes. There are different coonhound breeds known as Black and Tan Coonhound, Bluetick Coonhound, Redbone Coonhound, Plot Hound, and Treeing Walker Coonhound. The weight of a coonhound is in a range from 29 to 59 kilograms, and the height at withers is about 58 to 69cm. Their legs are long, but those are well in proportion with the body length. They have long ears, and a drooping neck. The coat colouration of coonhounds depends on the breeds; the black and tan coonhound is black and tan in colour as the name indicates. Additionally, the blue tick coonhound is black and white with ash spots throughout the body and the English coonhound is white and pale brown colour with brown spots, while the Plot hound is black in colour. The breed is different from the colours but has same features. Usually, coonhounds live about 10 – 12 years in good health conditions.

Put on the computer what the public asks for, not everything about the US.

I asked for a total medal count. I have been looking for 20 minutes and still cannot find it.

I also asked for a specific medal count for a specific country and got a history of when they first started to compete in the Olympics. I asked for a medal count for 2018, as of today,

not a history of that country.

You don't even accept what I have asked.

Bloodhound

St. Hubert Hound, Sleuth Hound, Flemish Hound

Common Name(s) Bloodhound, St. Hubert Hound, Sleuth Hound, Chien de Saint-Hubert, Flemish Hound

Breed Type The Bloodhound is a superb scent hound. Bred specifically to track humans, it has been the origin of a number of hunting scent hounds including coonhounds and foxhounds.

Background The Bloodhound's roots began in France. The breed was refined by the monks of St. Hubert in Belgium, thus the common names St. Hubert Hound and Chien de Saint-Hubert. There was once a white variety of the Bloodhound, but this strain died out in the 1600s.

Description The Bloodhound is a large dog with loose, wrinkly skin, large jowls, and long ears. Its muzzle is also long, and the dog is quite muscular. Bloodhounds may be black and tan, liver and tan, or red and tawny. Males are usually 25-27 inches high and weigh 90-100 pounds, while females are 23-25 inches tall and 80-100 pounds.

Care and Feeding The Bloodhound diet should consist of poultry, wheat, brown rice and avocado. Two or three small meals each day are best for the Bloodhound, as the breed is prone to bloat and other gastrointestinal problems. Bloodhounds are relatively easy to groom, with their short hair requiring little more than regular grooming with a hound glove. Baths should only be given when necessary. The Bloodhounds ears require regular cleaning and inspection.

The Bloodhound needs yearly checkups to stay healthy. Vaccinations should be administered on the following schedule:

• 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
• 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
• 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
• Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster

Bloodhounds shed moderately, and they have the trademark hound odor. Regular vacuuming and shampooing of carpets is essential.

Housing Your Dog Bloodhounds are usually kept outside, but they may live inside so long as they get sufficient exercise. They need a soft bed to help prevent calluses on their joints.

Social Behaviors Bloodhounds are very gentle dogs, and they get along well with humans, including children. Puppies, however, may play too roughly for small children. They do very well with other pets, although they may get aggressive toward dogs of the same sex.

Handling and Training Training a bloodhound requires a great deal of patience, as they have minds of their own. They may not do well with obedience training.

Activities The Bloodhound needs plenty of vigorous exercise. It is best to keep them on a leash during daily walks, because they often try to track down scents. A fenced-in yard would provide a safe place to exercise.

Breeding/Reproduction Potential mates should be checked for hip dysplasia, heart disease, and eye, ear, and skin problems. Their bloodlines should be checked for the same.

Common Health Problems A common ailment of Bloodhounds is gastric dilatation volvulus, or bloat. This is a serious condition that needs immediate treatment. This condition is often life threatening, so it is important to recognize its signs and get the animal to a veterinarian as quickly as possible.

Availability Bloodhounds are not as readily available as most breeds. If you can't find a local breeder, however, you can locate one online. Prices average from $500 to $800.
