Hound Group
All breeds in the Hound Dogs Breeds were bred to pursue warm-blooded quarry. The sleek, long-legged sight hounds use explosive speed and wide vision to chase swift prey, like jackrabbits and antelope, while tough, durable scent hounds rely on their powerful noses to trail anything from raccoons to escaped convicts. Members of the Hound Dogs Breeds possess strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch their quarries.
