Renowned for their super sniffers, hounds like Beagles and Basset Hounds use scent tracking to hunt everything from rabbits to bears!
Scent Stars
Distinctive long, droopy ears on Coonhounds and other hunters help waft odors from trails to their talented noses.
Eager Ears
Driven by excellent scenting skills and tireless endurance, hounds stubbornly follow trails other breeds might abandon.
Tenacity
Hounds need vigorous exercise and mental stimulation to prevent restless, destructive behavior from boredom.
Energy
The musical bay of Beagles and booming bawl of Bloodhounds will keep your neighborhood lively!
Vocal
From tiny Dachshunds to giant Irish Wolfhounds, hounds range from 10-120+ pounds. Choose an appropriate size for your lifestyle.
Sizes
Some like Beagles adapt well to families if properly exercised while independent breeds like Rhodesian Ridgebacks do better with experienced owners.
