The term "Bloodhound" refers not to what the Bloodhound trails but instead refers to its status as the "blooded hound," meaning aristocratic, since such great lengths were taken early on to keep the strain clean. Established in America for over a century, it proved early on to be a tireless worker for law enforcement, being so accurate that evidence trailed by a Bloodhound has been accepted in a court of law. Today, the Bloodhound has a loyal following of people that enjoy exhibiting a well-bred dog that can successfully compete in Conformation, Obedience and Tracking events.
