Personality
The American Foxhound is a complex dichotomy of tender and loving at home, combined with unchecked intensity during a hunt. They are great family dogs, as they play very well with kids and other dogs, but because of their hunting background they should not be left alone with cats. Since they were bred to hunt, they do not always do well in a house setting, longing for the thrill of the chase rather than the comfort of the sofa, so if it is a house pet you want, consider Foxhounds bred for show rather than the field. .
