Bloodhounds are extremely stubborn, and can be difficult to train and housebreak. They are known for their legendary scenting ability, most experts agree that the Bloodhound has the keenest sense of smell of any domestic animal. Unfortunately, Bloodhounds are also known for their health problems and relatively short lifespan. They are known as one of the least intelligent dogs, and the worst guard dog. Sorry, Bloodhound lovers!
