Bloodhounds 2008 Wall Calendar A Franco-Belgian breed, the Bloodhound is sometimes called the Chien de St. Hubert. Bred as hunters, Bloodhounds are intelligent and strong, and have a keen sense of smell to go along with their booming voice. They have been esteemed partners of law enforcement officers for close to 200 years. These happy, sleuthing hounds have kept their noses off the ground long enough to be photographed for this delightful wall calendar.
