American Foxhound

Scent Hounds and Related Breeds

The American Foxhound is a dedicated scent hound bred for relentless tracking by nose. High-energy and independently minded; they can be challenging around other dogs or animals and need careful introduction. The American Foxhound needs a solid hour of exercise every day to stay mentally and physically balanced, and their coat is low-maintenance and needs only an occasional brush. The American Foxhound is best suited to experienced, active owners who can provide firm, patient guidance and consistent mental stimulation.
