A foxhound. There are two types, one originating from the UK and the other from the USA. The English foxhound originated from a breed of hound used by royalty for fox hunting from around the 6th century, and was bred into its current form in the early 18th century. It was specially developed as a dog for fox hunting, and is extremely accurate at chasing foxes in the field, and also has speed and stamina. Its body shape is very similar to that of a pointer. Its coat is smooth and short, but has some coarse hair mixed in. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
