About this English Foxhound
English Foxhound is a large dog with a short coat. A short coat is mostly home care. A bath and a nail trim are the usual extras. This is an active one, so training, play, and a tired pet are part of living together. Those extras are only partly inside this sketch. An English Foxhound price for adoption or a breeder is the widest line: this sketch uses $2,400 inside a $1,500–$3,500 band.
