re: Bloodhound for house pet

Ex gf had one which i was tasked with taking care of for the couple year duration of our relationship. They require a big yard/area to roam (hers was about 110 lbs). If they are kept locked up in a small yard or house, they will destroy everything. I mean everything. They will chew up everything in your house and/or dig holes big enough to bury a small body in. My backyard required almost 3 yards worth of sand to fill in everything where you wouldnt break your leg just walking in the back yard. Also, as previously mentioned, they smell like shite, even after a bath. So be prepared to bath them regularly. They also shed like crazy, so dog hair will be all over your house/floors/couches/bed if you let it inside They are not smart dogs at all and follow their nose. They are very nice and docile for the most part, just huge dogs that require a lot of space and attention. If you live anywhere close to the city i would strongly reconsider getting a bloodhound.

ETA: shits the size of a t-rex, so if you go walking and dont have a bag to pick up the shite, neighbors wont have to think hard about what dog it is from
