    Foxhound

    Foxhounds are large strong highly intelligent and determined dogs specifically bred to hunt in packs alongside man. As such they are not traditionally thought of as being the sort of dog that people keep as family pets or companion dogs. They are handsome proud dogs and in America they are often seen in the show ring although in the UK they are more commonly found in the hunting field with more being exhibited over recent times.
