American Foxhound: Tracing their lineage to hounds owned and bred by George Washington, American Foxhounds were bred to

Bloodhound: The Bloodhound is a man-trailer without equal. Used by police and search and rescue around the world, a Bloodhound will follow the human scent - of a lost child, a criminal, or a confused senior - through punishing terrain, never giving up until he finds his target. Their scenting ability is so accurate, that the results of their mantrailing is accepted in almost any court of law.

Bluetick Coonhound: In the early 20th century, Fred Gipson, author of “Old Yeller,” described a particular line of coonhounds as "a big, bell-voiced hound with a nose that can pick up a week-old trail, the endurance to run that trail 30 hours at a stretch, and the lusty courage that’ll make him tackle anything that won’t take a tree before he catches him.”

Borzoi: The Borzoi was bred to course game on open terrain, relying on sight, rather than scent, to find their prey. The Borzoi's unmistakably elegant and flowing lines are all a part of a body built for power, speed, agility and endurance during long hunts.
