Bloodhound
The Bloodhound is a world-class trailer, famous for an unmatched sense of smell and long, wrinkled ears that help sweep scents toward its nose. Though they are gentle and affectionate companions at home, their single-minded determination when following a trail makes them powerful and sometimes stubborn working dogs. Their noble and slightly mournful expression belies a friendly, easygoing nature.
