Being hunting dogs with many generations of specialized breeding, the hounds, true to their instincts, preferred to follow the sent of deer and small furry animals rather than that of Homo sapiens. There is no doubt, however, that if this experiment had continued over a longer period of time, something more positive would have evolved. The muzzle is long and square. Long necked with a deep chest. Powerful and muscular thighs.
Legs are thick boned.
Tail has slight curve. Very short, hard and glossy. An active passionate hunter. Gentle and even tempered with children, but prefers to be around other dogs. Needs a lot of exercise.
