Duke is a great dog. He is social and loves to meet people and working on meeting new dogs. He does have a little bit of fear of other dogs but with proper intros he does great and listens to cues.
He is extremely nose driven (obviously it’s what his breed is for!) This means he will follow his nose even if that gets him into trouble! (No counter is safe currently but we are working on that!) He’ll need a tidy home that is able supervise him and keep him stimulated with training and enrichment.
He is very intelligent and driven. He would do great with someone who loves training and wants to continue working with him.
He is all hound, that means his bark is loud and he’s excitable… if those aren’t your things try a rabbit ��

About the Bloodhound from the AKC:
An off-duty Bloodhound is among the canine kingdom's most docile citizens, but he's relentless and stubborn on a scent.
Bloodhounds are large, substantial dogs standing 23 to 27 inches at the shoulder and weighing up to 110 pounds. Their most famous features are a long, wrinkled face with loose skin; huge, drooping ears; and warm, deep-set eyes that complete an expression of solemn dignity. Coat colors can be black and tan, liver and tan, or red. Powerful legs allow Bloodhounds to scent over miles of punishing terrain. As pack dogs, Bloodhounds enjoy company, including other dogs and kids. They are easygoing, but their nose can sometimes lead them into trouble. A strong leash and long walks in places where they can enjoy sniffing around are recommended. Bloodhounds are droolers, and obedience training these sensitive sleuths can be a challenge.
