If your gate is open, the bloodhound will zip out at his earliest convenience and be gone. You can yell all you want but nothing will happen. The bloodhounds nose is the biggest thing he has and the power is always turned on. Bloodhounds will be generally inattentive to you when he is outside his normal environment. I f going for a walk with your dog is important to you, you must realize that the bloodhound must be on a leash at all times.
Bloodhounds have a lot of ambition.
Bloodhounds have just as much energy as most terriers. Bloodhounds slobber at about the same rate as a St. Bernard. Something under a gallon an hour when excited, a little less when asleep. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. Following a drink of water, a bloodhound can shake his head and get slobber on the second floor of your home with little effort.
