The Southern Hound was a breed of dog that existed in Britain probably until sometime in the 19th century, now extinct. The exact date of its extinction is not known; it is likely that it was gradually interbred with other breeds until the genuine Southern Hound bloodline ceased to exist.
The breed was developed in the British countryside, often used in hunting in forests and rural areas.
The Southern Hound was a scent hound known for its excellent tracking ability. It was slower than other hounds, so was often used for tracking rather than chasing. The breed played a part in the development of other hounds, like the Bloodhound.
