American Foxhound
The American Foxhound is a lean, athletic scent hound developed in the United States primarily for fox hunting in large packs. Known for its speed, stamina, and melodious bay, it is built for long days in the field rather than life as a typical suburban pet. This breed is gentle and good-natured but can be independent and requires substantial daily exercise.
