Foxhound alias: English foxhound (englishfoxhound). 58-69 cm tall, weighing 25-34 kg, the female is slightly smaller than the male, and its ancestor is the St. Hubert Hound. George Washington improved the breed of foxhounds, and he mixed the consolidated foxhounds with the blood of the French hunting dog breed to produce his own American breed of foxhounds. The Foxhound also mated with the Irish Island Foxhound and the English Hunting Dog Breed, resulting in a faster range than the American Foxhound breed.
With the rise of fox hunting in England in the 13th century, the dog began to develop rapidly. Traditionally a strong and robust breed, endurance is the main focus of cultivation. Foxhounds live in groups, with members in pairs rather than as individuals. According to the British Foxhound Club, in 1880 there were 140 groups of about 7,000 foxhounds in Britain. Mainly used for hunting, they are rarely seen at dog shows.
The ability to get along with other dogs with a graceful voice, a sensitive nose, and an unpretentious personality forms the characteristics of the English Foxhound. Previously the size and size of this dog varied greatly throughout the UK. Hounds from Yorkshire were the fastest to run, while those from Stafffordshire were large and slow,with the vast majority of English foxhounds today having a similar size and personality.
Their firm, low-pitched call and charming characteristics make them a good guard dog. Although they are difficult to train, they are docile, affectionate, and even good-tempered. They have a strong instinct to chase and kill prey as big as foxes. The English Foxhound has a very large amount of exercise, is not suitable for urban life, can adapt to cold climates, and needs to be groomed regularly.
