Has anyone been the owner of a Bloodhound. Did you, or do you think they are a demanding breed?

If you ever have had one, or knew someone who did, can you add any info as to your experience with this breed. I have my whole life wanted to have a bloodhound, but I could never get the courage to be responsible for such a bloodshot, nosey, slobbering hound. Maybe, that’s partly why I like them so much-there funny, they are suppose to be great with kids and laid back-I once had a basset hound and really miss him, but that was the closest.
