The term 'Type of Hound' refers to three different breeds of hound dogs: the Talbot, BEAGLE, and BASSET. The Talbot is a large white hunting hound that was popular in England during the Middle Ages. The BEAGLE is a small- to medium-sized breed of hound, similar in appearance to a Foxhound, with a distinctive howl. The BASSET is a short-legged breed of dog of the hound family, originally bred for hunting hare. All three breeds are known for their keen sense of smell and tracking abilities.
