You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''English Foxhound''' is one of the four [[foxhound]] [[dog breed|breeds]] of [[dog]]. It is a cousin of the [[American Foxhound]]. They are [[scent hound]]s, bred to hunt foxes by scent.

== Description ==

=== Appearance ===
[[File:English Foxhounds, Cheshire Game and Country Fair 2014 1.jpg|thumb|English Foxhounds at rest.]]
The breed standards' guidelines for showing English Foxhounds requires them to be ((convert|20|-|27|in|cm)) tall at the [[withers]].<ref>((cite web |title=English Foxhound |url=http://www.fci.be/Nomenclature/Standards/159g06-en.pdf |publisher=FCI |access-date=28 March 2015))</ref> The skull is thick and the muzzle is long. The legs are muscular, straight-boned, and the paws are rounded, almost cat-like. The English Foxhound comes in any hound color, most often tricolor, tan, red, or black with a white base((Citation needed|date=April 2021)).

=== Temperament ===
[[File:Chasse a courre.jpg|thumb|A pack of English Foxhounds.]]
The English Foxhound is a pack hound; therefore, it gets along well with other dogs and enjoys human companionship. It gets along with horses, children, and other pets, as it is a gentle, social, and tolerant breed. It is an active breed that enjoys tracking foxes and has the stamina to run all day with few breaks((Citation needed|date=April 2021)).

== Health and lifespan ==
There are very few health problems in this breed. Occasionally seen are chronic [[Hip dysplasia (canine)|hip dysplasia]], [[renal]] disease, and [[epilepsy]]. The breed's lifespan is typically 10–13 years((Citation needed|date=April 2021)).

== History ==
((Refimprove|date=February 2010))
[[File:English Foxhound from 1915.JPG|thumb|English Foxhound circa 1915.]]
The English Foxhound has been bred for over two hundred years, with the stud books dating back before 1800.<ref>[http://www.fci.be/Nomenclature/Standards/159g06-en.pdf FCI breed standard]</ref>

During the [[British Raj]], English Foxhounds were exported to India for the purpose of [[jackal coursing]],<ref>''Thirteen years among the wild beasts of India: their haunts and habits from personal observation with an account of the modes of capturing and taming elephants'' by [[George P. Sanderson]], published by Asian Educational Services, 2000, ((ISBN|81-206-1464-X))</ref> though due to the comparatively hotter weather, they were rarely long lived.<ref name="living">[https://archive.org/stream/livinganimalsofw01cornrich#page/n7/mode/2up ''The living animals of the world; a popular natural history with one thousand illustrations'' Volume 1: Mammals], by [[John Cornish|Cornish, C. J.]], 1858-1906; Selous, Frederick Courteney, 1851-1917; Johnston, Harry Hamilton, Sir, 1858-1927; Maxwell, Herbert, Sir, published by New York, Dodd, Mead and Company</ref> Foxhounds were preferred for this purpose over greyhounds, as the former was not as fast, and could thus provide a longer, more sporting chase.<ref>''A monograph of the canidae'' by St. George Mivart, F.R.S, published by Alere Flammam. 1890</ref>

Studbooks for the English foxhound have been kept since the 18th century.<ref>((cite journal|last1=von Pfetten|first1=Jean Christophe|title=Baron|journal=Ecovertside|url=http://www.ecovertside.net/features/20-foxhunting-feature-stories/221-a-history-of-the-english-foxhound|access-date=23 March 2017|archive-date=23 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170123081801/http://www.ecovertside.net/features/20-foxhunting-feature-stories/221-a-history-of-the-english-foxhound|url-status=dead))</ref> Breeding lines and the work of people involved in breeding hounds is extremely important in the continual development of this working breed. Puppy shows are important events in the hunting calendar and allow the local hunt followers and visiting hound breeders to examine the latest generation from the hound pack. The [[International Foxhound Association]] was created in 2012 for the international promotion of the English Foxhound as a breed.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.net1901.org/association/international-foxhound-association-IFA,1036675.html|title=INTERNATIONAL FOXHOUND ASSOCIATION (IFA)|work=Net1901.org))</ref>
