About the American Foxhound
The American Foxhound is a historic American breed developed from English hounds in the 1700s for the specific purpose of hunting foxes by scent in diverse and often rugged terrain, prized for its speed, endurance, and melodious voice. Known for its friendly, easygoing, and sociable nature, it is a relatively rare breed outside of hunting circles, requiring significant exercise and space. It is less common as a mere household pet due to its strong hunting instincts and need for vigorous activity.
