staghound
Large hunting hound
A staghound is a large hound bred for hunting deer, particularly stags.
The term applies to several breeds historically used in mounted hunts, where the dogs would track and chase quarry over long distances.
Staghounds resemble foxhounds but are larger and more powerful, built for pursuing bigger game across rough terrain.
