History, nobility and keen determination flow through the veins of the wondrous Bloodhound, the living descendant of St. Hubert's Hounds, raised by clerics in a monastery in the Ardennes region of France. Immensely gifted as a scenthound, the Bloodhound was bred to trail game that it could not see merely by following its scent. Experts theorize that the Bloodhound's nose is over two million times as sensitive as that of a human. The breed's large size, fearlessness and trailing ability have enabled it to pursue large game, including deer, elk and bear; moreover, the Bloodhound is the foremost man-trailing dog in the world, utilized to track sheep thieves, poachers and escaped convicts.
