Hounds are divided into two groups:

Scenthounds use their noses to follow their pray and are capable of following a trail for miles or days.

Breeds include: Beagles, Basset Hounds, Bloodhounds, Dachshunds, also some types of  Coonhounds

Sighthounds are built for speed. They take off after fast moving pray to bring them down.

Breeds include: Greyhounds , Russian Wolfhounds / Borzoi, Afghan Hounds and Irish Wolfhounds.

*Beagles are good rabbit and hare hunters. They are independent thinkers and like to do things their own way. Beagles learn best when trainers make things interesting and fun.

During training keep handing out treats on a random basis, so the dog never knows when it well be rewarded.
