Hound breeds are among the oldest dog breeds in the world, having been used by humans since almost the dawn of time to help them track prey. And while their acute sight and scenting powers still see them being used on hunting trails, they’ve also become beloved companion animals.
There are two distinct types of hound breeds: sighthounds, who use their impressive vision to help them locate their prey, and scent hounds, who rely on their noses to locate what they’re after.
