Hounds are a breed of dog which is bred to assist hunters through tracking game either by scent or by sight. Sight hounds tend to be extremely fast and are expected to be able to kill small game themselves. Scent hounds are those which have an extraordinarily good sense of smell and can pick up tracks of animals very well and thus alert the hunter to them.
