A hound is a type of dog that is used for hunting purposes. There are different breeds of hounds, which are commonly categorized into two types: scent hounds and sight hounds. Scent hounds, such as Bloodhounds and Beagles, have a keen sense of smell and are used to follow a scent trail over long distances. Sight hounds, like Greyhounds and Whippets, rely on their keen vision and speed to chase and capture prey. These dogs are known for their endurance, intelligence, and strong hunting instincts.
