The Bloodhound appeared in Europe long before the Holy War, and the first dog came from Constantinople. There are two varieties: black and white. The black breed was a famous St. Hubert hound in the 8th century, while the white breed later became a famous Southern hound. Black blood was imported into the UK. Both breeds play an important role in the development of other hunting dogs and dog breeds. In the 12th century, bishops at that time happened to use dogs as a means of transportation, and church dignitaries were one of the first to develop blood hunting dogs. A large number of senior pastors provide for a group of hunting dogs, and dog farms are an important part of every monastery.
