General Appearance
Skull--should be of full size, but by no means heavy. Brow pronounced, but not high or sharp. There should be a good length and breadth, sufficient to give in a dog hound a girth in front of the ears of fully 16 inches. The nose should be long (4? inches) and wide, with open nostrils. Ears set on low and lying close to the cheeks. Most English hounds are ''rounded'' which means that about 1? inches is taken off the end of the ear. The teeth must meet squarely, either a pig-mouth (overshot) or undershot being a disqualification.
Owning
The English Foxhound's coat is short, hard, and glossy and comes in colors of black, tan, and white or any combination. The English Foxhound needs exercise. He is happiest with those who live in rural areas or on large farms. Foxhounds enjoy the company of other dogs and can become bored if kept alone. The English Foxhound is an intelligent, courageous pack-hound with a cheerful determined disposition.
