American Foxhound

Do you have a relative or close friend that owns an American Foxhound Dog? and you are always stumped what to get them for a gift?

Did you Know that the American Foxhound’s roots can be traced back to George Washington. Washington and his wife Martha were dog breeders and combined The French Hound, Slow Hound and regular hounds to create the American Foxhound.. Washington was an avid fox hunter and bred this dog for his own personal gain.

This is a rather docile, gental dog that usually gets along well with children and other animals. The American Foxhound is a very active breed with very high energy. With longer legs bred into them, they are a very fast dog. They require a lot of exercise and do best in habitats where they have room to run. If they live in a suburban area such as a neighborhood, they should have a fenced-in yard and be taken on multiple walks daily.

Here at Casa Canaan we have been crafting from untreated wood (poplar) and finished with a coating of food grade mineral oil so that they are safe for all family members. We have a catalog of more than 200 animal puzzles including the American Foxhound. We can make any of these into a free standing puzzle, a leash / key holder or desk clock.

The artist behind the designs is an Amish gentleman in Ohio.  He has been drawing these patterns for over 20 years
