What this means for your Foxhound
Hip dysplasia is worth screening for given the breed's active, working build, though the Foxhound is generally considered a robust, hardy breed thanks to generations of selective breeding for stamina and soundness.
Bred to work in packs, Foxhounds are highly social and do best with plenty of company and regular vigorous exercise throughout their lives, scaled back gradually as they age.
When is a Foxhound considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, large breeds like the Foxhound are generally considered senior from around 5 dog years old.
