ENGLISH FOXHOUND
History - Careful pedigrees have been kept of English Foxhounds since the late 1700s - longer than for any other breed. Still, the exact origin of the breed is unknown. At the time of its inception, coursing the stag with Greyhounds was still the favored dog sport of the gentry.
Temperament - Traditionally a pack hound, the English Foxhound nonetheless makes a stately housedog, as logn as it has human or canine companionship. It gets along well with horses, dogs, children, and other pets. It is an avid sniffer and trailer, however, and needs daily exercise in a safe area. It is a tolerant, amiable, and gentle dog even though it is not very demonstrative.
Upkeep - An easygoing dog that needs plenty of exercise. It is bred to run for miles, and it can make a good jogging companion on leash or a hiking companion in a safe area. It can live outdoors in temperate climates as long as it has warm shelter and bedding and, preferably another foxhound.
Size - Weight up to 75 pounds and 27 inches in height.
