2. Which breed of dogs can trace their lines back to the bloodhound?

3. Bloodhounds come in only black and tan.

Answer: false

They also come in all red or liver and tan, but in the Middle Ages they came in other solid colors.

4. Bloodhounds are hard to train in obedience.

Answer: true

Because they are a hound and were bred to be independent thinkers it can take a little extra time training one.

5. Bloodhounds are lazy dogs who enjoy nothing more then being a couch potato.

Answer: false

Bloodhounds need a good amount of exercise or mental stimulation or they will get bored, which can make them destructive and noisy. They were breed to have stamina on the hunt so the more exercise they get the happier they are.

6. What is a common health problem for a bloodhound?

Answer: all of these

Because of their large size, bloodhounds can be prone to many health issues. They also suffer from ear infections due to their droopy ears.

7. The bloodhound was named such because it has a thirst for blood.

Answer: false

There are two thoughts on how the bloodhound received its name. The first is that only the "blue bloods" or the aristocracy could own them in Britain in the 19th century. The other is that they are "blooded" or a hound of pure breeding.

8. Where did the bloodhound originate?

Answer: Belgium

The breed was developed in Belgium around the 800s. However, the tracking ability was developed a little later in other parts of Europe and Britain.

9. Why do bloodhounds have such droopy skin?

Answer: help them track better

All the extra skin that a bloodhound has is there to help them track better. When their nose is on the ground all the loose skin falls forward and forms a kind of cone, helping them concentrate the smell better.

10. Bloodhounds do not have much doggy odor.

Answer: false

Bloodhounds have a musty smell to them that does not go away, it is just part of the package. Washing the dog too often or with a strong shampoo can make the musty smell even stronger than before.
