Hounds are generally large in size and very loyal to their owners; many hounds only recognize one owner throughout their lives. They will trust you completely, and intelligent, easy-to-manage, and secure-feeling hounds drive many people crazy. Imagine being able to tell your dog when you are unhappy, having them protect you in danger, and receiving a warm big hug from your dog when you come home. Hounds are authentic and charming, so what are the breeds of hounds? Introduction to six major hound breeds.

Hound breed one: Pitbull. Pitbulls are muscular, aggressive, fierce, and quite wild. They are not very friendly to strangers and generally not recommended for keeping. If used as a fighting dog, it is undoubtedly the best choice; they have a tenacious will. Also, during fights, the high concentration of testosterone in their bodies makes them not afraid of pain. Once fighting with other dogs, they often fight to the death.

Hound breed two: Caucasian Shepherd Dog. Caucasian Shepherd Dogs have a strong ability to adapt to environments and are very loyal and protective of their owners. They are also relatively friendly to children. Their personality is quiet and steady, currently mainly used for guarding homes and properties.

Hound breed three: Belgian Malinois. Belgian Malinois are excellent as working dogs and guard dogs. They are not very aggressive, have a cheerful and lively personality, and a keen sense of smell. They are intelligent and easy to train with good obedience, and have been widely adopted around the world as police dogs.

Hound breed four: Afghan Hound (detailed introduction). Afghan Hounds have long and smooth coats with tails curled upward. They have an elegant temperament, becoming fashionable pets, quiet indoors, and are relatively easy to keep.

Hound breed five: Pharaoh Hound. Pharaoh Hounds have smooth lines and a well-proportioned body with noble lineage. They are relatively cold-sensitive and not suitable for urban keeping. Their personalities are gentle, friendly to people, non-aggressive, and not very clingy.

Hound breed six: German Shepherd. German Shepherds are widely used as military dogs worldwide. They are intelligent and easy to train with very sensitive senses. They appear large and powerful with a gentle personality. Their intelligence is very high; if well-trained, their IQ is equivalent to that of a six-year-old child.
