Latest American Foxhound Frequently Asked Questions:
I need to take a quiz where we have to identify dogs of the Hound Group. We are provided with a picture and that's it. I have every dog of the Hound Group memorized, but I am having trouble with the American Foxhound and the English Foxhound. Basically the only noticeable difference is that the English Foxhounds have somewhat thicker, stronger looking legs. Are there any other visible differences that I should take note of?
Answer:I really like American Foxhounds, they always seem stringier and taller in pictures, while English Foxhounds are more blocky. It's much easier to tell if you put the two pictures next to each other.
Right now our family has a beagle. On Monday we have an appointment to start the adoption process of a foxhound. I am not sure if she is emglish or american foxhound. Can someone please explain to me the difference? thanks.....
Answer:Americans are larger, mainly. And I think their colors tend to be a little more vivid, and the English have more of a beagle-like head, whereas the American have a heavier, more pointer-like head. Temperment wise they are the same.

(10 points to best answer) already did testing with the vet it is an american foxhound plus he is hurting my other dog a 3 year old cocker spaniel.
Answer:Contact the pet store and tell them that don't know their breeds. I don't know what their return policy is but you should NEVER by a pup from a pet shop, anyway. All their puppies come from puppy mills and raised in horrible conditions. You should have done a little more research before you went out to buy that "puppy in the window!" They saw you and your wallet coming!
Answer:The American foxhound is one of the least registered when it comes to new litters. I'd try googling foxhound clubs and see if anyone is planning a litter, and attending shows to talk to foxhound exhibitors. Good luck.
