Bloodhound
The ancestry of the modern Bloodhound can be traced back to the monastery of St. Huberts. These dogs were used to track wolves, big cats or deer, or to follow the trail of wounded game. When the Normans conquered England in 1066 AD, the St. Hubert Hound was one of those brought to England and became known as the Bloodhound.
