American Foxhound (More..)
Appearance
The coat is close, hard, and medium length. The foxhound is seen in all colors, but the most common are tan and white, gold and white, and black and white.
Grooming & Exercise Needs
A weekly brushing will keep the coat in good shape. This dog needs long daily walks and frequent romps in a large, fenced-in area.
Origins
The American foxhound was derived from English stock in the 18th century.
Special Alerts
The American foxhound is not suitable for apartment life. If it is not called upon to use its remarkable nose in vigorous activity, behavior problems, such as
howling, barking, or house-soiling, will result.
