As the name suggests, these are the hunting dogs. The so-called sighthounds, do their chasing by direct sight, whereas the scenthounds use their noses on the ground to follow their target.
As a general characteristic, hounds tend to concentrate on the chase and not to listen to the entreaties of their oweners to come back to base. They do not regularly figure in the placings in advanced obedience tests. They also have loud voices, which they are not averse to using.
