English Foxhound Health

English Foxhounds are generally healthy dogs. There are several health considerations owners should be aware of; large and deep-chested breeds are susceptible to gastric dilatation-volvulus, or bloat, a sudden, life-threatening stomach condition. English Foxhound owners should learn what signs to look out for and what actions to take should they occur. Low-hanging ears such as the Foxhound's can be prone to infection, so the ears should be checked regularly. The teeth should be brushed often, using a toothpaste designed for dogs.

About the English Foxhound

The English Foxhound is a substantial galloping hound of great stamina. His long legs are straight as a gatepost, and just as sturdy. The back is perfectly level. And the chest is very deep, 'girthing' as much as 31 inches on a hound measuring 24 inches at the shoulder, ensuring plenty of lung power for a grueling day's hunt. These pack-oriented, scent-driven hounds are gentle and sociable, but rarely seen as house pets. They can be so driven by a primal instinct for pursuit that not much else, including training, matters to them. Owning these noble creatures will require an owner who enjoys an active, social lifestyle.

The English Foxhound is the epitome of what serious dog breeders strive for: beauty, balance, and utility. The long legs are straight as a gatepost, and just as sturdy. The back is perfectly level. And the chest is very deep, 'girthing' as much as 31 inches on a hound measuring 24 inches at the shoulder, ensuring plenty of lung power for a grueling day's hunt. 'Next to an old Greek statue,' a poet wrote, 'there are few such combinations of grace and strength as in a fine Foxhound.'
