American Foxhound review

Easygoing, sweet, kind, and loyal, the American Foxhound dog breed belongs to a way of life that has continued for more than two centuries, but he has the potential to be a modern-day companion as well. His stamina and love of running make him a great jogging partner for athletic owners, and his mild nature makes him an excellent family dog, so long as he gets the exercise he craves.

Bred to be a fast hunter who can run for miles, the American Foxhound needs a substantial amount of exercise. If he's not going to be a hunting companion, he'll need daily runs or some other form of exercise to help him burn off his natural energy. He's best suited to a home with a yard — or better yet, an acre or two; he's probably too loud for condo or apartment living.

American Foxhounds are patient and loving with children, and it's not unusual to hear of a child learning to walk by holding onto the family Foxhound. That said, as with any breed, you should never leave a dog and a young child alone together. They should always be supervised to prevent any ear biting or tail pulling, by either party.

So far, so good. But Foxhounds come with special considerations. They need lots of exercise or they can get depressed and destructive. A Foxhound’s single-minded prey drive must be managed. Their loud bawling is melodious to hound lovers but can be a nuisance to neighbors, and training and housebreaking these independent souls can be a steep challenge for novice owners.

The American Foxhound is a natural hunter – this dog will go after a scent and won’t listen to commands. An active breed, the Foxhound loves the outdoors and is up for any type of exercise. This breed isn’t suited for city life, as it needs plenty of space to run around. Typical of hound breeds, the American Foxhound doesn’t like to be left along for long periods of time. If you’re active, live alone, enjoy the outdoors, have a family and are an experienced dog handler, the American Foxhound will be the dog for you.

The American Foxhound is generally a healthy breed, however, some health concerns may include congenital deafness, ear infections, hip dysplasia, Pelger-Huet anomoly and thrombocytopathy (disorders of the blood platelet and abnormal functioning of the platelets).

Foxhounds are moderately easy to train, as are most hound breeds. They don't have the longest attention spans, so training should be conducted in short spurts and should not be overly repetitive. Patience is the key ingredient needed when training any type of hound, and calm-assertiveness is also important. Treating a Foxhound harshly will only lead to avoidance behaviors and flat out stubbornness.
Once leadership is established and basic obedience is mastered, Foxhounds can be graduated to advance obedience, tracking, or agility activities.

The Foxhound is one of the oldest of American breeds but also one of the least known. He’s found most frequently on the Atlantic Seaboard or Southern United States, usually as a member of a pack owned by a foxhunting club. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering making one of these handsome hounds a member of your family.

I have a giant foxhound, too. She's a little fat, at 90lbs. She probably has like 10lbs to lose, but yeah- she's a real big girl with a big, beautiful voice! I introduce her, when people inevitably ask if she's an overgrown beagle, as my 100% Purebred American Snack Hound. Champion bloodlines, able to sniff out every crumb that my terrier leaves behind from a mile away.

American Foxhounds are extremely musical. Their howls and bays carry for miles. While hunters and other fans of the breed think this is music to their ears, your neighbors might not agree. The breed is definitely suited to country living, where daily concerts won't disturb neighbors.

Today, the American Foxhound is one of our oldest breeds and one of the rarest. Within the breed, there are four types of American Foxhound: field-trial hounds, which have great speed and competitive spirit; fox-hunting hounds, which are known to work slowly, with a musical voice; trail hounds, which race or hunt following an artificial lure; and pack hounds, which are used in large packs, by hunters on horseback.

they should be used for finding missing people in the wilderness. not for hunting other live animals for game.

The American Foxhound is an extremely friendly and intelligent breed who loves his family, but being left alone with no human companion or canine friend can distress him. This dog was bred to run and can go for miles so exercise is very important. American Foxhounds are capable of getting along with almost any other pet as long as they’re introduced at a young age and grow up with them. Because of their intelligence, they are excited to learn and even more excited when their efforts will be rewarded with a yummy treat.
