Snippets: It was bred by President George Washington using English & French Foxhounds. This breed has incredible speed and stamina but with sensitive nose, so though excelled hunting dogs, they can be stubborn. They have special loud,deep bark followed by high-pitched howl. They are harmonious and hence no nuisance to neighbours. They are easy to maintain, just occasional brushing to clear the dead hair
