About the English Foxhound

English Foxhounds are powerful, well balanced and clean-cut dogs that are archetypical of all large European hounds.

Bursting with energy and stamina, which allows them to run for hours at a time, these dogs were born to hunt, but they are nevertheless friendly and not aggressive.
