I've had Irish Setters, so I'm familiar with the modus operandi
I'm Considering a Bloodhound and Might Need a Name....

OK serious reply:
The Dutch/Flemish female version of the male name Hubert is Hubertine or Huberdina. But I actually don't think it's a good female dog's name, Hubert would be a okish name for a bloodhound.

Perhaps in English. Don't think that's right in French. And why not "Huberta", also in English.
It does, as with Hubertine. Seeing the bloodhound has its roots more in the french speaking part of Belgium that might even suit better, still not a dog's name IMHO.
"Uuu-Berte" sounds masculine enough to me and probably most English speaking folk.
Hounds are real working dogs, for the most part. They are still close to their working ancestors, and many still do work. No wonder they stink, since the sense of smell is their signature talent.
For some reason, my two Maine-Coon lookalike rescue cats out of a drainpipe, endlessly sniff the knees of my trousers as if they are reading the newspaper. I do launder my clothes, but evidently the scents I pick up on my knees are highly informative and interesting to feline sniffers.
I second the motion on selecting a short name for your prospective bloodhound. The dog learns it quickly. It's better for combining with commands (and adoring praise). Also, short names are less likely to get shortened into nicknames.

Our current dog, a terrierist, is in the advanced stages of Cushing's Disease and I was thinking of a Bloodhound
replacement for after she sheds her mortal coil is the reason I ask. There's no rush as our mutt is still flying with her dirty side down.
