The American Foxhound is native to America and is actually a very rare breed. The American Foxhound was bread for hunting. They are often used on the trail, in fox hunting as a pack for hunt clubs, and even for field trials and competitions. The hound loves his job of hunting, but he also loves being a family pet. The American Foxhound is a large dog but even tempered, loving, loyal and playful. They can be on the stubborn side so consistent training is a must for this breed. The breed is very laid back and adaptable. They do well with children and other pets. They are, however, very hyper and energetic and require regular walks or a fenced in yard to run off extra energy. The average American Foxhound has a lifespan of 11 to 13 years.
