History:
The English Foxhound was created in the late 1501s, as a result of the perception of the depletion of deer in England. Nobles and Royalty had hunted deer for both food and sport, using the Deerhound or Staghound for a this purpose. During the reign of Henry VIII, it was perceived that a new prey was needed, and the fox was selected. The English Foxhound was then created by a careful mixing of the Greyhound, for speed, the Fox Terriers, and the English Bull dog, for tenacity in the hunt.The desire for straightness had a tendency to produce knuckling over, which at one time was countenanced, but in the recent years this defect has been eradicated by careful breeding and intelligent adjudicatio, and one sees very littles of this trouble in the best modern Foxhounds.
