the company of other dogs and can become bored if kept alone.
Did You Know
The American Foxhound's origins date
back to the early 1700's in Virginia and Maryland. It was in November 1852 that a black and tan hound was stolen out of Tennessee
and taken to Madison County, Kentucky. This hound was called ''Tennessee Lead'' and he became the foundation sire of all Walker,
Trigg and Goodman foxhounds. These three strains make up the major portion of what is called American Foxhounds by AKC today.
