Hound Group Dog Breeds: Expert Trackers with Keen Instincts and Endurance
The AKC Hound Group features dog breeds originally developed for hunting and tracking game, either by scent or sight. These dogs are known for their exceptional stamina, sharp senses, and focused drive. Scenthounds like the Bloodhound and Beagle use their powerful noses to follow trails, while sighthounds such as the Greyhound and Afghan Hound rely on speed and vision to chase prey. Hound breeds often exhibit independent temperaments, deep vocalizations, and a strong prey instinct. Whether in the field or at home, they combine athleticism with loyalty, making them both skilled hunters and devoted companions.
