About American Foxhound Dogs

American Foxhounds are easygoing, friendly scent hounds with a musical voice and a love of running. They are one of the oldest American breeds, developed for fox hunting in colonial times. Their lean build and incredible stamina make them natural athletes.

Adopting an American Foxhound brings a sweet-natured, independent companion into your life. They are gentle with everyone they meet and do well with other dogs. They need plenty of space and exercise to channel their natural energy.
