English Foxhound

The English Foxhound is a distinguished and athletic breed renowned for its hunting prowess and sociable nature. This breed traces its origins to England, where it was developed in the late 18th century specifically for hunting foxes, boasting an excellent sense of smell and remarkable stamina. English Foxhounds are medium to large-sized dogs, typically weighing between 60 to 75 pounds, with a lean, muscular build that underscores their endurance and agility.

They possess a short, dense coat that exhibits a striking tricolor pattern, usually featuring white with black and tan markings. English Foxhounds are known for their soulful, expressive eyes and long, sweeping tails that are often carried high. They have an easy-going temperament and tend to be friendly and good-natured, making them wonderful companions both in the field and at home.

Their pack-oriented instincts make them great with other dogs, and they thrive in environments where they can engage in regular exercise and mental stimulation. This breed typically does best in rural or suburban settings with ample space to roam and explore. While they may be less suited for apartment living, English Foxhounds excel as loyal family pets when provided with an active lifestyle and a devoted human pack.

Colors: Black White and Tan, White and Black, Lemon and White, White Red and Black
