Additional Bloodhound Comments
Bloodhounds are a lot of things, but graceful and careful are not among these things. They are happy, hyper, energetic animals. Like Bulls In A China Shop. They will eat anything! They are very hard to obedience train. Potty training happens to be extremely difficult as well. Do not ever let your Bloodhound run without a fenced in area, or unless he is on a leash.
