The American Foxhound is a breed of dog that is a cousin of the English Foxhound. Though there has long been a rumor that the new breed was originally used for hunting Indigenous peoples of the Americas, this is not true. The breed was developed by landed gentry purely for the sport of hunting foxes. Because of its strong hunting instinct, American Foxhounds should not be trusted off-leash. Most scent hounds are bred to give 'voice,' but the Foxhound does not make a good watchdog.
