About the English Foxhound
The English Foxhound is a traditional pack hound developed over centuries in Great Britain specifically for the mounted pursuit of the red fox, prized for its incredible stamina, powerful nose, and melodious voice that carries across the countryside. Bred to work cooperatively in large packs, it is known for its even temperament, sociability with other dogs, and its singular focus on the hunt, making it a dedicated working dog that is less common as a solitary family pet.
