It depends on the dog's lineage. Show quality bloodhounds are not usually the best at search and rescue. It is best to get a hound that is from working lines. I have a bluetick coonhound that I use for SAR. She is awesome at it. She is out of the Gascon style of bluetick, which is a larger and floppier hound than the standards of today call for. Blueticks are a cold nosed trailer like the bloodhounds and black and tan coonhounds; this means they can track an older/fainter trail better than a walker, plott hound, english coonhound etc... I have seen a lot of bloodhounds lately with dog aggression and non-cancerous tumors. Whatever breed a person chooses, they need to be sure it comes from a reputable breeder with healthy dogs that are out of working lines and non-aggressive. This good start will assist in being a successful SAR dog. Essentially though, how well that dog is past that point is up to the handler. I would suggest Kevin Kocher's method of training. This is what I use for my dog, and you WILL NOT be disappointed with the results as long as you are dedicated and put forth the effort! His book is call How to Train a Police Bloodhound and Scent Discriminating Patrol Dog. Good luck and happy trailing!
