It is a breed of dog that originated in the United States and was originally bred for hunting foxes. Known for its endurance, speed, and strong tracking ability, it is an indispensable role in fox hunting. Medium size, with a long and thin body, well-developed muscles, slender limbs, and a long and powerful tail. The coat is short and hard, which helps to shuttle through bushes. The nose is very sensitive and can track odors from a long distance. Very friendly, lively, loyal and affectionate to family members. I enjoy interacting with people and other animals, but as a hunting dog, I also have strong independence and hunting instincts. Requires a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.
