I'm wanting to get a young dog to start on blood trailing. I coon hunted for about 10 years up until 3 years ago so I'm not concerned about my ability to train a dog.
I'm looking hard at getting a bloodhound,are there any downsides to this paticular breed?
Do yalls treat yalls dogs like pets, or just work dogs?
What do yall do to keep them in shape during the offseason? This part was easy with coon dogs, just hunt them year round. But you obviously there aren't any blood trails after deer season. And just running them I would be worried about them to start running un shot deer.

I know the time,effort, and money it takes to make a good. Not worried about that,I just have a constant desire to watch dogs work.
