Dogs in the hound group, as opposed to those of the bird-hunting sporting group, track larger animals, they are further subdivided into sight hounds and scent hounds. As indicated by their subgroup names, sight hounds are able to spot animals from long distance, and scent hounds have a keen sense of smell, which make them adept at sniffing animal out. Specialists at tracking animals, the breeds of this group are quick, persistent hunters.

Basenji
Basset Hound
Beagle
Borzoi
Dachshund (Miniature)
