foxhounds
Scent-tracking pack dogs
Foxhounds are dogs bred for hunting foxes, typically in packs.
The breed combines stamina, speed, and a keen sense of smell.
English and American foxhounds are the primary varieties, both medium-to-large with short coats and long, floppy ears.
The foxhounds picked up the scent and took off across the field.
