English Foxhound Did You Know?
- The first AKC registered English Foxhound was named "Auditor."
Auditor was registered in 1909.
- The English Foxhound standard contains rules applying to both the Hunt
and to Conformation.
- In England, as in America, these hounds have always been used for foxhunting
as followed in the English fashion of riding to hounds.
- In America, we have over a hundred packs of hounds, of which not over
ten percent use hounds which would be eligible for the English Foxhound
Stud Book, although the blood has been freely mixed with the American Foxhound.
- In appearance, the English Foxhound is far stouter than its American counterpart.
- English Foxhound pedigrees can be traced back in the English Foxhound
Stud Book of America, published by the Masters of the Foxhounds Association
of America.
