Hounds

Hounds are a type of dog breed traditionally used for hunting due to their excellent sense of smell and stamina. They are known for tracking and trailing game over long distances, often relying on scent rather than sight. There are two main categories: scent hounds, which follow a scent trail, and sight hounds, which pursue prey visually. Hounds are often energetic, independent, and social animals, valued both for hunting and companionship. Their keen senses and strong instincts make them well-suited for tracking activities, and they require regular exercise to stay healthy and fulfilled.
