Is an American Foxhound a Beagle?

No, an American Foxhound is not a Beagle, although they belong to the same American Kennel Club (AKC) Hound Group. The American Foxhound is larger and taller, with a sleek, muscular build, bred specifically for speed and endurance in hunting. On the other hand, beagles are smaller, more compact, and possess an exceptional sense of smell, making them excellent for tracking small game.
