Bloodhound Man Trackers Inc.

Bloodhounds are PROVEN (they are not certified).  
A very important difference. ​

PROVEN:  
A Bloodhound is "Proven" by training records, the cases worked, with a confirmed track or find.
"Proven" means the dog does the skill over & over again (not just on one day for a certificate).
See Colorado State Law for Bloodhound Testimony.


CERTIFIED:
A dog is tested, usually once a year in a skill.

The dog may or may not be able to do this skill again in real conditions in the real world.
Certification is done for all other (non-bloodhound) breeds.
