i knnow my Branddee was a pistol......she was a very loyal dog cept when it came to smells, she was on her way if i wanted to go or not......she escaped through the electric fence, didnt phase her.....she was always wanting to run, play.......she would do almost anything she was taught, she was so smart.......a handful though.....i would do it again in a heartbeat.....we did everything together, scouting , fishing, just hanging out.......she was the love of my life....i would go get all the imfo. on bloodhounds i can get before you get one.....thay need more love, time, food, everything ..lol....
