Foxhound

A foxhound is a large hunting hound, very similar to a beagle but much bigger. Foxhounds hunt in packs and have very strong sense of smell. They hunt for foxes, hence the name. When out hunting they are followed usually on horseback and will travel several miles to catch their target.

Not usually kept as pets as they have natural instincts to hunt and are very energetic and active.
