English Foxhounds are medium to large-sized dogs. Males typically weigh between 65-75 pounds, while females usually weigh 50-65 pounds. Their height ranges from about 21 to 25 inches at the shoulder.

English Foxhounds are known for their friendly, sociable, and energetic demeanor. They are typically good-natured and enjoy being around people, making them great family pets. While they are affectionate, they can also exhibit a stubborn streak due to their independent hunting background, so consistent training is essential.

The coat of an English Foxhound is short, dense, and weather-resistant. It often comes in a variety of colors, including tri-color (black, white, and tan), lemon (light tan and white), and red and white. The coat is relatively low-maintenance but benefits from regular brushing to control shedding.

This breed requires an active lifestyle. English Foxhounds thrive in environments where they have room to roam and engage in physical activity. They are not suited for small apartments or sedentary lifestyles. A home with a yard or access to open spaces is ideal.

English Foxhounds excel in a variety of activities. They enjoy long walks, runs, and outdoor play. They can participate in various canine sports, including agility, obedience, and scent work. Engaging them in activities that stimulate their hunting instincts, such as tracking or participating in hunting events, is also beneficial.
