FOXHOUND

Picture of Foxhound

The Foxhound is a breed of dog bred for chasing foxes. The foxhound is smaller than the staghound, its average height being about 53 cm. Foxhounds were bred by crossing the old English bloodhound with the greyhound to blend speed with stamina and scent, strength and spirit. *Foxtail-grass
Foxtail-grass is a grass of the genus Alopecurus so called because of the close cylindrical panicle in which the spikelets of flowers are arranged which look rather like a fox's tail. Foxtail-grass is similar in appearance to Timothy grass, but has a more tapered base and tip.
