The Bloodhound is a specialist scent hound with a gentle heart and a powerful nose. In India it needs space, ear care and secure walks because scent trails can override recall.
Bloodhounds descend from medieval European scent hounds, with strong links to monastic and noble kennels. They were bred to follow human scent over long distances with great persistence. Their tracking reputation made them valuable for search work and law enforcement.
In India, Bloodhound prices vary with breeder reputation, city, age, colour demand, health testing and whether KCI papers are provided. Very low prices can mean poor breeding, weak vaccination records or uncertain parentage.
Bloodhound does well with steady walks, play and sensible weight control. Brush weekly, check ears and nails, and increase coat care during shedding seasons. Feed a balanced diet with measured portions; growing puppies should not be overfed or over-exercised. In most Indian cities, provide shade, fresh water and avoid strenuous activity during hot afternoons.

A couple of walks plus playtime suits most adults.
Regular brushing and routine ear, nail and dental care are important.
