Dog Lovers Manual

Both terms refer to hunting breeds, and mean exactly what they suggest. Sighthounds (also know as gazehounds) rely on their keen eyesight to spot prey, and on their speed to chase it and bring it down or within range of the handlers’ guns. Scenthounds use their highly developed sense of smell to track and seek out prey, and then either hold it at bay for their handlers to deal with or catch it themselves.
