ENGLISH FOXHOUND, AMERICAN FOXHOUND AND HARRIER Dogs
The English Foxhound was possibly originated in the XIII century, when fox hunting turned into an organized entertainment. The Harrier is a smaller version of the previous one and the American Foxhound has European influences and is taller and more slender.
All of them hunt in a similar way and call the hunter or owner with a characteristic howling-barking.
GENERAL Dog DESCRIPTION
Even when the three of them have an independent spirit, they can make great company dogs if they are bred at home since they are puppies. They are rarely aggressive, but they are very obstinate, so they require having some training and to feel the human family as their pack. The three of them are sociable and each of them have a characteristic voice tone that can be distinguished among others by the owner. Dog Leashes
