ENGLISH FOXHOUND - UK Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the English Foxhound

The English Foxhound is a highly athletic, intensely driven scenthound and the quintessential pack hunter of the British aristocracy. Bred to hunt foxes over vast distances alongside hunters on horseback, they possess unparalleled stamina, a deeply resonant bay, and an incredibly robust build.

Temperament and Care

The English Foxhound is a true working dog, rarely kept solely as a pet. They are deeply pack-oriented and thrive with other dogs, but they are highly independent and notoriously stubborn. They require absolutely massive amounts of daily running in secure areas; otherwise, they become highly destructive. Their short coat is very low maintenance.

Is the English Foxhound Right for You?

• Pros: Exceptionally healthy, deeply loyal to their pack, and very low grooming needs.
• Cons: Massive exercise requirements, highly stubborn, and possesses a booming bark.
