He has an outstanding ability as a scent hound, superior to other hound, which has made him very useful in police investigations.

Temperment: For all its calm manners at home, the Bloodhound is a tireless trailer once on the track. It is tough, stubborn, and independent,yet it is gentle and placid that it is extremly trustworthy around children -- although it may not be playful enough for some children's needs. Nonetheless, it is not the lazy ol' hound dog portrayed in folklore but instead an active, playful companion. Although not the easiest breed to train for traditional obedience, it is exceptionally easy to train in tasks involving trailing. The Bloodhound is reserved with strangers.
