About American Foxhound
The American Foxhound is a graceful, athletic breed known for its exceptional endurance, keen sense of smell, and friendly temperament. Originally developed in the United States from English Foxhounds, this breed was bred for fox hunting and long-distance pursuits. Sleek, lean, and fast, American Foxhounds have a balanced build and a smooth, short coat that comes in various colours such as tricolour, red and white, or blue tick. Despite their hunting roots, American Foxhounds are gentle, loyal, and affectionate companions. They thrive in active households where they can enjoy outdoor activities like running or hiking. Their sociable and even-tempered personality makes them great around children and other dogs. However, they do best with consistent training, early socialisation, and plenty of daily exercise to satisfy their natural energy and curiosity. With proper care, the American Foxhound is a devoted, cheerful, and athletic family companion.

American Foxhound FAQs
How much does an American Foxhound cost?
In Ireland, the average cost of an American Foxhound puppy typically ranges between €800 and €1,400, depending on the breeder’s reputation, lineage, and availability. Well-bred hunting or show-quality dogs may be priced higher.
Are American Foxhounds good family pets?
Yes. American Foxhounds are affectionate, loyal, and friendly dogs that enjoy being around people. They are patient with children and usually get along well with other pets, especially if socialised early.
Do American Foxhounds bark a lot?
Foxhounds are known for their distinctive baying voice, which they use to communicate. While this makes them excellent hunters, they can be vocal in a home setting. Proper training and exercise can help manage excessive barking.
Are American Foxhounds easy to train?
They are intelligent and eager to please but can sometimes be independent due to their hunting instincts. Consistent, positive reinforcement training works best, and patience is key for long-term success.
Are American Foxhounds high maintenance?
Not particularly. Their short coat is easy to maintain with weekly brushing. However, they do need daily physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy, making them better suited for active owners.
