I really didn't know that - but, it makes sense.
I know it doesn't matter to some folks, but temperament is VERY important to me. If you go look at the "adoption" pages from the American Bloodhound Club - it would seem that alot of the AKC bloodhounds are food possessive, aggressive with other dogs, etc. Now, before y'all jump, I'm talking about AKC dogs and we all know AKC breeds for the ring and not for hunting or anything else.
