This book has everything you need to know about the Bloodhound breed. It shows pictures of how to take care of your Bloodhound ect.... I bought this book to learn more about the breed and to train my Bloodhound to track game, and it has worked perfectly for my needs. The only thing they don't really mention in this book is how serious the ear problem is for Bloodhounds. My Bloodhound for example needs her ears cleaned about every 3 days. If you don't clean their ears that often they will get a really bad ear infection and the only way to get it out is surgery, around $500.00 worth. They are a very high maintenance animal but are well worth the effort.

This is my favorite of several books I have read on this breed. I am a soon-to-be bloodhound owner, and this book combined good advise with beautiful pictures. Also, unlike some other books this book stays strictly about the topic with no generic filler.

VERY informative book for the money. Of the three bloodhound books purchased this month, one was worthless, one was a little pricey, and this one was the best value.

Full of information, very thorough. Not too lovey dovey about the breed, very geared towards people who have or will have a bloodhound. Stuff you need to know! Wish it had more pictures, but that's what the other books are for.

Very informative. Not only does it give you a little history on the breed, but details the positives and what could be negatives of the breed. A book I would recommend to anyone considering this breed.

A nice introduction to bloodhounds. Gives you basic information about the breed and a good read before deciding on this dog. Most of the information is easily available on the internet but it's nice to have in a quick guide for a very inexpensive price. I would recommend to anyone interested in getting a bloodhound but if you already have a dog this book is a little basic, still it's nice to have in your library so friends and family can become more informed about this fantastic breed of dog.

I bought this as a gift to my brother in-law. He just got a new blood hound and he had a hard time finding any books on blood hounds. I noticed he looked at this book quite allot. I think he is pleased.

This book is wonderful. Good description and the pictures are great. This is just what I needed.

We recently obtained a bloodhound mix puppy and had no idea about the breed. This book answered all our questions throughly and makes an excellent reference for later use.
