Originally, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen was bred from larger Griffon Vendéen dogs, with the goal of creating a smaller hound that could hunt in dense undergrowth where larger dogs might struggle. Today, while they may not be as commonly used for hunting, PBGVs still retain the characteristics that made them excellent small game hunters, and they are also valued as affectionate and lively companions.

Wolf Hunting: The primary role of the Borzoi was to hunt wolves. The breed was developed by crossing various sighthounds with local Russian breeds to create a large, fast dog capable of chasing down and holding wolves until the hunter arrived. Their speed, agility, and endurance were key attributes for this role. Independence and Intelligence: This breed is known for its independence and intelligence, qualities that were important for a dog that might need to make decisions and work semi-autonomously during hunts.The Finnish Spitz’s development as a breed has deep roots in the hunting traditions of Finland’s early settlers and indigenous Sami people. Over time, they have become a symbol of Finnish heritage. The Whippet, a breed developed in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, was bred for several specific purposes that reflect both its hunting heritage and its role in popular English pastimes. Here are the key reasons why the Whippet was bred: Scent hound breeds also enjoy a game of ‘fetch’, which is a good way of helping reinforce the recall command.

The Harrier is a medium-sized hound used for hunting hares by trailing them. It resembles an English Foxhound but is smaller, though not as small as a Beagle. The Pharaoh Hound is the national hound dog of Malta. The Pharaoh Hound, an ancient breed believed to have originated in Egypt but later developed in Malta, was primarily bred for hunting. Its name and appearance often associate it with the dogs depicted in ancient Egyptian art, though its direct lineage is a subject of debate among historians and canine experts. The breed’s development was driven by several specific needs and environmental factors:

Playing with your dog in less stimulating places and rewarding them for finding you during ‘hide and seek’ games can help them stay more focused on you. The better your dog’s recall training, the more you can let them off the lead to follow scents without the risk that they might disappear, oblivious to your calls. Your dog doesn’t meant to misbehave, but sometimes natural instincts, and the temptation to follow them, become too much to ignore! Despite their hunting tendencies, your sighthound should be a pleasure to exercise and can easily be trained to walk to heel. Make sure to keep a good hold of their lead though, as a surprise cat encounter, passing cyclist or jogger can trigger their chase instincts without warning. Your sighthound might run flat-out, their enthusiasm making them deaf to your calls, until the chase comes to a natural end. Your sighthound probably isn’t being mischievous, just doing what they’ve been bred for - so teaching a good recall is essential to prevent unexpected adventures! Scent hounds exercise needs

The Afghan Hound’s exact origins are somewhat mysterious and steeped in folklore, as the breed’s development was largely isolated until the 19th century when they were brought to Great Britain. Today, the Afghan Hound is known more for its unique beauty and grace in the show ring than for its hunting prowess. Despite their aloof and dignified demeanor, Afghan Hounds are known to be affectionate and loyal with their owners. They require regular grooming due to their long coat and are best suited to homes that can accommodate their exercise needs and independent nature. Reserve up to 5% for use as rewards when training, especially if you're training your scent hound to 'come', as it's particularly important to motivate a Scent Hound.

Like all working breeds, hound dogs utilise their natural canine behaviours to do the jobs that we humans have developed them for. Hounds are specialists in locating their prey with either their keen eyesight or their incredible noses, then stalking/chasing them, often at high speed before catching and killing them (or holding them until they can be killed).
