The term 'kind of hound' can refer to four different types of dogs. The first is the ROCK, a small breed of dog that originated in Germany and is known for its intelligence and loyalty. The second is the BASSET, a long-bodied hound with short legs that is used for hunting and tracking. The third is the Dachshund, a short-legged, long-bodied hound that is also used for hunting and tracking. The fourth is the Otterhound, a large breed of hound that is used for hunting otters and other aquatic animals. Finally, the MEDIA and NEWS are not breeds of hounds, but rather terms used to describe the type of information that is disseminated through various MEDIA outlets.
