At about 25-inches tall, American Foxhounds somewhat resemble large beagles. These lovely dogs are friendly, kind, outgoing and courageous in the field. You can easily care for these perfect pets with these tips.
Instructions
1. Visit your vet regularly. Your Foxhound will need regular vaccinations and health care from your vet.
2. Train your Foxhound. The American Foxhound is an intelligent, independent dog that will need to learn to come, sit, stay and sometimes get down.
3. Exercise him regularly. Bred for hunting, Foxhounds have nearly limitless energy and need to be exercised often. A simple walk through the park will not be enough for your Foxhound; he will need to run far and fast on a regular basis.
4. Keep her outside. These dogs were bred to be outdoors in the field and leaving them inside can cause havoc. They need plenty of room to play and this is best provided by having a large fenced yard.
5. Groom your Foxhound regularly. His care should include regular brushing and bathing, cleaning his eyes, teeth, ears, feet and trimming his nails.
6. Control her food. You will want to keep your American Foxhound on a diet. Free access to her food may encourage her to overeat.
