Also known as English Foxhound
A tireless pack runner that lives for the open country
The Foxhound was bred to run with a pack for hours across country, so it has huge stamina and a friendly, pack-minded nature. It is easy to groom but needs plenty of space, company and exercise, and is not suited to a quiet, sedentary home.
