Which type of hound is built for endurance in tracking prey?

Scent hounds are specifically bred and developed with physical characteristics and traits that allow them to track scents over long distances. Their keen sense of smell enables them to follow trails left by animals, making them particularly effective at tracking prey over varied terrain and extended periods. Their endurance is complemented by a strong, athletic body structure that supports stamina and persistence in scent trailing.

In contrast, terriers are typically small, agile dogs originally bred for hunting and burrowing. They are energetic but are more suited for short bursts of activity rather than endurance. Working dogs have a broader range of abilities and may be bred for various tasks, including herding or guarding, rather than specifically for tracking. Show dogs are bred primarily for conformation to breed standards and aesthetics, rather than for tracking or endurance capabilities.
