    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Knowing why a breed was created, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and personality.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to cultivate: the boxer's spirited and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of particular breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Bloodhound Temperament Personality

Bloodhound Information

The bloodhound is a steadfast trailer, built for endurance rather than speed. Its skin is thin and loose, falling in wrinkles around its head and throat. Its long ears are supposed to stir up scents as the ears rake along the ground, and its profuse wrinkles are said to trap the odors around the face, although neither of these assertions has ever been scientifically verified. Its dense short coat protects it from being caught in brambles. Its docile temperament makes it nonthreatening to the humans it is sometimes now called upon to trail. Its gait is elastic and free, with tail held high. Its expression is noble and dignified.

For all its calm manners at home, the bloodhound is a tireless trailer once on the track. It is tough, stubborn and independent, yet it is so gentle and placid that it is extremely trustworthy around children — although it may not be playful enough for some children's needs. Nonetheless, it is not the lazy ol' hound dog portrayed in folklore but instead an active, playful companion. Although not the easiest breed to train for traditional obedience, it is exceptionally easy to train in tasks involving trailing. The bloodhound is reserved with strangers.
