hound mix
Mixed-breed hunting dog
A hound mix is a dog that combines hound ancestry with one or more other breeds.
Hounds were bred for hunting—some track by scent (like beagles and bloodhounds), others by sight (like greyhounds)—so mixes often inherit strong prey drive, endurance, or that distinctive baying howl: She adopted a hound mix from the shelter.
