English Foxhound
English Foxhounds (60-75 pounds) are friendly, energetic, and independent, best for active owners. They’re kid-friendly but may be too rambunctious for toddlers.
High exercise (2+ hours daily, running or hunting) is essential; their short coat needs minimal brushing. Feed 2-3 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Performance Sport 30/20 Formula, with 30% protein for their stamina. Control portions to stay lean. Primarily outdoor dogs, they need secure yards and aren’t suited for apartments or urban areas due to howling.
Training curbs roaming. Ideal for rural or hunting households with space, Foxhounds thrive with exercise, not for sedentary or small-space lifestyles.
