The Scent Hounds
Scent hounds are a type of hound dog that primarily hunts by scent rather than sight. The scent hound breeds are generally regarded as having some of the most sensitive noses among canines. Some breeds are often kept as pets, especially the Beagle, Basset Hound, and Dachshund. Most scent hounds are good with children, good with dogs, and many are good with other pets; however, scent hounds are often stubborn, distracted, difficult to train.
