History
The longest surviving breed, the English Foxhound was first bred in the late 1700s. It was created by a mix between a Greyhound, Bulldog, and Fox Terrier. The Greyhound allowed the foxhound to be quick on its feet, the Fox Terrier brought out the hunter in the breed, and the Bulldog gave it a wider chest and more muscle. Studbooks for this breed were kept as early as the 1800s. The dogs were meant to trail foxes and live around horses and are still used for those purposes today.
Exercise
They need a lot of it. A large yard is required for them to exercise themselves, but they also require long walks and play sessions or they will become destructive. Got an apartment? Consider a fish instead of a foxhound.
