American Foxhound

• American Foxhounds are medium sized, square proportioned Scent Hounds generally weighing 45 to 65 lbs. They come in true hound colors which generally means, red, black-saddled red and black and tan with variable white markings. They are noted for their hanging soft ears as well as for their melodous voices. They bay when on trailing.
• They are active hunting dogs and are used in packs to track foxes across country while the human hunters ride after them on horse back.
• The vast majority of Foxhounds are NOT registered with the AKC but with a much older group called the Masters of Foxhounds.
