Hound dogs were bred for use in tracking and hunting larger animals. Hounds can be sub-divided into two groups: sight hounds and scent hounds. Sight hounds spot their prey at great distance and chase it until it is exhausted or cornered. Scent hounds are best suited for finding prey with their keen sense of smell. Today, police use sent hounds when searching for drugs and bombs. Dogs of this group include some strong yet graceful runners that can exceed 35mph.
