Frequently Asked Questions
Are English Foxhounds good family pets?
English Foxhounds can make excellent family pets, especially in households with an active lifestyle. They are friendly, affectionate, and get along well with children and other pets when properly socialized.
How do English Foxhounds fare in hot climates?
English Foxhounds may struggle in hot climates due to their thick double coats. It's important to provide them with plenty of shade, fresh water, and indoor refuge during hot weather to prevent heat-related issues.
Do English Foxhounds have a strong prey drive?
Yes, English Foxhounds have a strong instinct to chase and hunt prey, as they were originally bred for hunting foxes. It's important to keep them on a leash or in a securely fenced area to prevent them from chasing small animals.
