Hi, Pauley, yes, the dogs in your link are all "hounds" (segugi/cani da seguita), that is a generic term to indicate **all kinds** of "segugi"; among them (also in your photos) you may find "bloodhounds, foxhounds, wolfhounds, deerhounds" and so on; some are better specialized as "blood tracking hounds" or other hunting specialization. (Note my second reference phrase, from the ENCI, Ente Nazionale Cinofilia Italiana). I hope this may help!, :) Anna Rosa

I am guessing but this seems to fit.

neutral ARS54 : ...technically, this term translates better "cane da fiuto" - www.firstthedog.it/index.php?option...id... All "segugi" are generally called simply "hounds", :)

trailhound

I'd say, if you are looking for a specific term to use in association with bloodhound (which gets my vote in your other Kudoz).
