About The Breed

The English Foxhound is a medium-to-large hunting breed known for its stamina, intelligence, and excellent scenting abilities. Originally bred in England for fox hunting, the breed has a sleek, muscular build with a short, dense coat, typically in tri-color (black, tan, and white). English Foxhounds are friendly, sociable, and good with families, including children. They are calm, easy-going dogs that are typically reserved with strangers but form strong bonds with their owners. Though they are gentle and loyal, they can be independent and may require firm training, especially when it comes to recall due to their strong hunting instincts. This breed has a high energy level and needs plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. They thrive in homes with large yards or access to open spaces where they can run and explore. Regular grooming is simple, requiring only occasional brushing. The English Foxhound is best suited for active families or owners who can provide both physical and mental stimulation.
