00:00Hey guys, I'm a bloodhound.

00:10You smell fantastic, by the way.

00:12We bloodhounds are very affectionate and gentle.

00:15However, we can be difficult to obedience train due to the fact that we follow our nose

00:21and we don't care what you say when we're tracking a scent.

00:25We've been known to follow a scent for up to 130 miles and track a scent that's over

00:30300 hours old.

00:32That's 12 and a half days.

00:35That's like an eternity in dog years.

00:37Although our exact origins are not entirely known, bloodhounds were definitely established

00:42in Europe when William the Conqueror took the crown in England roughly 1,000 years ago.

00:47We were bred to be hunting companions, sniffing out wild deer and boar.

00:52Although we aren't used for hunting purposes like we used to be, we are very useful for

00:56law enforcement.

00:58We've been used by the police to track down bad guys for hundreds of years.

01:03Bloodhounds live 8 to 12 years on average.

01:05We're a medium-sized dog standing between 23 and 25 inches tall and weighing anywhere

01:11between 80 and 120 pounds.

01:14Bloodhounds are susceptible to a high rate of gastrointestinal ailments.

01:18Food is the most common stomach ailment and is the leading cause of death among bloodhounds.

01:23To combat this, make sure you feed me an hour before or after exercise from an elevated

01:29bowl.

01:30We're very well known for our long, droopy skin on our face and soft, droopy ears.

01:35These actually help us with our sense of smell by trapping scent particles and then funneling

01:40them into our wide nostrils.

01:42It's pretty cool, right?

01:44Obedience training isn't the easiest thing to do with us.

01:47We just love to smell stuff and our strong-willed desire to sniff things makes us too preoccupied

01:52to pay attention.

01:53Just remember, when you're training us, we try to take charge, so you need to be kind

01:57but also the undisputed boss of the house.

02:00We're a good family dog and love children.

02:03Sometimes we can get carried away and knock kids over and this is just because of our

02:07size.

02:08We don't mean any harm.

02:10Being the gentle giant that I am, I make a pretty good apartment dog as long as you take

02:15me out for daily walks and let me sniff around.

02:18If left to my own devices, I tend to get bored and destructive.

02:21So keep me entertained if you want to keep that new couch.

02:25What I would prefer is a house with a yard so I can entertain myself.

02:29Just remember, bloodhounds tend to overheat easily due to our thick coats.

02:33So let's review.

02:35Bloodhounds are very affectionate, gentle giants.

02:38We have a tendency to be strong-willed and will not listen to you when there's a scent

02:41to sniff out.

02:43We've been used by law enforcement for centuries to track down criminals because of our great

02:47sense of smell.

02:48We can live a fairly long time if you keep an eye out for our stomach issues.

02:53We can be difficult to train, but just make sure you take charge and show me who's boss.

02:58I'm happy in most living situations as long as you take me out for daily walks.

03:03Speaking of which, let's go outside and smell the roses.
