Hounds
Hounds were bred to be hunters. That is the plain and simple truth about them. In competitions judges have been required to remember to keep that fact in mind as hounds will simply not do well having to stand completely still and be entirely obedient. If they were to ignore this fact any good, true ‘hound’ would be docked points for their lack of attention during the competition. Hounds simply crave the hunt and naturally want to follow and pick up scents and trails. The scent hounds, as their name would have you guess, have the keenest sense of smell of the hounds, with the Bloodhound having the best sense of smell out of all of the hounds. Bloodhounds can pick up scent trails that are days old. The most famous of the Bloodhounds, Nick Carter, was recorded as following a scent 13 days old. Among the other scent hounds are the Beagle, the Foxhound, and the Harrier. Beagles, which were especially bred to be followed on foot, may very well be the oldest breed of the scent hounds with a history dating back to the 15th Century. Foxhounds and Harriers were bred to hunt fox and had to be followed on horseback. Their abilities and report with hunters have caused many to believe that they should never be called ‘dogs,’ but rather should always be referred to as hounds! Another type of hound is the Utility Hound; bred to be able to perform a variety of tasks. Among the Utility Hounds are the Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which were actually used to hunt lions. Their build and stamina gave them the physical ability to evade and maneuver well enough to keep the large animals at bay, and their keen senses helped them to locate and sneak up on the lion. Their performance would give hunters time to line up a shot on the lion. Select this link to view our Christmas Stocking Holders.
