Scenthound Group Dog Breeds: Powerful Noses, Steady Temperament, and Trail-Tracking Instincts
The UKC Scenthound Group includes dog breeds developed to track game by scent, often over long distances and challenging terrain. These dogs are known for their extraordinary olfactory abilities, endurance, and methodical hunting style. Whether it’s a Bloodhound following a cold trail or a Treeing Walker Coonhound working in dense woods, Scenthounds are built for persistence and precision. Most breeds in this group have deep voices, strong prey drives, and a calm, focused demeanor. While they may be independent thinkers, they’re also loyal companions who thrive with consistent training and outdoor activity. Popular Scenthound breeds include the Bluetick Coonhound, Redbone Coonhound, and American Foxhound.
