The English Foxhound was developed by mixing various hounds, subsequently carefully bred with the Greyhound, the Bulldog, and the Fox Terrier. From these breeds the Foxhound respectively inherited its sudden spurts of speed during the chase, its force and authority, and its passion for the hunt.
The Foxhound has impressive stamina and a good nose. It can run steadily for hours at a time. Some of the English Foxhound's talents are hunting, tracking, watchdogging and agility.
The RL standard of the english foxhound is short and not very detailed - it more or less only mentions what must be found in a good hunter. This is a good pointer when judging this breed - it should be built to be able to hunt, the rest is of less importance.
The english foxhound should appear tall, strong and agile. The head should be broad, with a long but not thick neck. The chest is deep with a broad back. The legs are powerful and well angulated. The body should give the impression of speed and endurance.
