Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of an English Foxhound?
They generally live 10–13 years. With balanced nutrition, daily exercise, and regular vet check-ups, many reach the higher end of this range.
Are English Foxhounds suitable for Indian homes and climate?
Yes, but they need care. Foxhounds adjust to Indian climates if kept cool during summers and exercised during cooler hours. They do best with access to open spaces.
How much does an English Foxhound cost in India?
Between ₹1.5–3 lakhs, depending on pedigree and breeder quality. Always verify health certifications before buying.
What should I feed my English Foxhound in India?
A mix of premium kibble or home-cooked meals (boiled chicken, rice, pumpkin, spinach, and eggs). Joint supplements and omega-3 oils are often recommended for active hounds.
How much exercise does an English Foxhound need daily?
At least 90–120 minutes. Early morning/evening walks plus indoor games are essential. Without it, they may become restless or vocal.
