Summary
About American Foxhound
A friendly, long-legged hunting dog from the USA with an athletic build, a gentle expression, and long, floppy ears. Bred to follow scent trails with great stamina, the American Foxhound combines affection for its family with a strong hunting instinct and an independent streak. It needs plenty of exercise, scent work, and patient training, while its dense coat is easy to care for. Its far-carrying bark and howl also call for consideration for neighbors.
About Pharaoh Hound
An elegant, medium-sized dog from Malta with a reddish-brown coat, large upright ears, and amber eyes. Its background as a rabbit hunter is reflected in its speed and strong prey drive. The Pharaoh Hound is friendly, affectionate, and playful, but also independent. It needs daily exercise, mental stimulation, and safe opportunities to run. Its coat is easy to care for, though it may need a warm dog coat in winter.
