American Foxhound

American Foxhound

It is a tolerant, amiable and gentle dog, even though it is not very demonstrative. It is first and foremost a hunter, ever ready to hit the trail and deaf to commands once it is on a scent. Not traditionally a house pet, this is a dog that likes the outdoors and needs ample daily excersize. It is it is not a city dog.
