English Foxies!


English Foxhounds are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The English Foxhound is an athletic hunting dog."
#2. "The nose is about 4 inches long (10 cm.) with wide open nostrils."
#3. "The teeth should meet in a scissors bite."
#4. "The hanging ears are set low, laying flat on the head."
#5. "The large eyes are brown."
#6. "The legs are straight and the cat-like feet are round."
#7. "The long tail is set high."
#8. "The coat is short, hard, dense and glossy. Coat colors come in black, tan, and white, for example tri-color (black, white and tan), or bi-color with a white background or any combination of these."
#9. "The English Foxie is a courageous, passionate hunter."
#10. "High energy, they need a lot of daily exercise."
#11. "They respond well to leadership and are willing and able to be obedient, but are not as responsive as some breeds and training takes patience and a general understanding of the canine animal"
#12. "They are friendly with people and excellent with children, but prefer to be in the company of other dogs and do well with other animals."

#18. "There are two types, field lines and show lines (bench). Field types are bred for hunting and field trial work. The bench type are bred for conformation shows. Both types are energetic and need daily exercise, but field lines have a higher energy level and needs even more exercise."
#19. "It is recommended that if you are looking to own an English Foxhound solely as a pet, that you are an avid jogger, biker or hiker and are looking for a canine partner."
