About The Breed

The American Foxhound is a medium-sized, intelligent, and versatile hunting dog known for its endurance, speed, and strong scenting abilities. Bred primarily for hunting foxes, this breed has a sleek, muscular build and a short coat, typically in tri-color (black, white, and tan) or bi-color combinations. American Foxhounds are friendly, sociable, and good with families, including children, making them excellent companions for active households. They are known for their independence and strong prey drive, often following scents for long distances, which is why they need a secure yard and close supervision if off-leash. This breed is energetic and requires ample exercise, such as long walks, runs, or play sessions, to stay happy and healthy. Due to their hunting background, they are best suited for owners who can provide regular physical and mental stimulation. The American Foxhound is ideal for experienced dog owners or those with an active lifestyle who can meet its exercise needs.
