There are more than 60 types of hound breeds, including the Irish Hound, the Soviet Wolfhound, the Afghan Hound, the Puget Hound, the Bloodhound and the Rabbit Hound. Hounds not only have an extraordinary sense of smell, but also have the characteristics of being active and loyal to their masters, so they are loved by their owners. Hounds can be divided into sniffing hounds and seeing hounds, with sniffing hounds making up the majority of hound types. Scent hounds usually have long and drooping ears and large nasal cavities, effectively enhancing their ability to analyze and perceive scents. Because of their unique abilities, sniffer hounds are often trained to be military and police dogs to help solve crime cases. And kept as pets, the good natured, lively and loyal hounds are also good family companions.
