The dignified Bloodhound is a study in contradictions. He’s docile yet stubborn, determined but not quarrelsome, affectionate but somewhat shy with people he doesn’t know.
When it comes to training, he’s sensitive to kindness or correction, but he still wants to do things his way.
Bloodhounds are messy eaters, so you may want to tuck the ears into a snood before mealtime. Choose water dishes with a narrow diameter to help keep the ears from dragging in them.
