Did you know?
The American Foxhound's origins date back to the early 1700's in Virginia and Maryland. It was in November 1852 that a black and tan hound was stolen out of Tennessee and taken to Madison County, Kentucky. This hound was called ''Tennessee Lead'' and he became the foundation sire of all Walker, Trigg and Goodman foxhounds. These three strains make up the major portion of what is called American Foxhounds by AKC today.
