Hunting dogs bred for tracking and chasing prey, or to persistently pursue or harass someone.
From Old English 'hund,' one of the oldest words in English, borrowed from Germanic languages, originally just meaning 'dog' before becoming specialized for hunting dogs.
Hounds have been humanity's hunting partners for over 15,000 years—so long that we've literally shaped their bodies and instincts, creating over 200 breeds from a single ancestral wolf species.
