Bloodhounds are actually very energetic dogs! They have great temperments, it is rare to find one aggressive. For this reason thry do not make a good attack dog. They are clowns and always trying to make you laugh and please. We raised labs for years and started breeding bloodhounds about 3 years ago. Bloodhounds sniffers are 20 times more powerful than a normal dog and of course are wonderful trackers. Lucy's grandad was the famous "willy wonka" which was at katrina, the japan earthquake and countless tornado sites. The downside on bh they are sturborn! They are extremely intelligent and once a bh gets in their heads about something, watch out! This is why training is so important. I would not say good for a small child, only because they will ptobally knock them down with their big body clumsiness but a kid 4 or more wonderful. They do need room to run and drool, though lucy does not yet but boys tend to, more. They can be loud, if you ever heard them bay with their howl, one thing you never forget.
