Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, is credited with developing a breed of dog known as the St. Hubert's Hound, also known as the Bloodhound.

The Bloodhound is an ancient breed of scent hound that was developed in the 7th century AD by Saint Hubert and his monks at the Abbey of Saint Hubert in Belgium.

The Bloodhound is known for its keen sense of smell and its ability to track game over long distances. They were originally used for hunting deer, boar, and other game, and they were prized for their stamina, endurance, and ability to follow a scent for miles. In addition to their skills as hunting dogs, Bloodhounds are also highly prized as companions and family pets for their gentle, loyal, and affectionate nature. They are often used in search and rescue operations and as police dogs due to their ability to track scents over long distances.
