Bloodhounds

Bloodhounds are excellent hunters, using scent to get them to the prey. Law enforcers depend upon them for this very purpose. Unfortunately for law-breakers, bloodhounds pick up the slightest scent and follow it directly to the person. Furthermore, this dog species has helped police track missing persons for years. The French native grows to about 27 inches in height and a maximum of 160 pounds. Its willfulness and protective nature will make it go up against a lion without fear or hesitation.
