Hound Group

There are two types of hounds: sight hounds and scent hounds.

Sight hounds spot their prey from a very far distance and chase it until it is exhausted, while scent hounds find their prey by smell.

Scent hounds work with police, searching for drugs and bombs. Dogs of this group can run at more than thirty-five miles per hour.

The powerful and graceful body of a hound running at its maximum speed is a work of art. Many hounds are used as show dogs or racing hounds.
