Meaning & Story
From the English word 'hound,' referring to a hunting dog or dog in general; historically used to describe dogs bred for tracking by scent or sight.
Hound is refreshingly direct — it's what dogs were called long before we started naming them after celebrities and cheeses. There's something honest and classic about it, a name that knows exactly what it is and wears it proudly. It suits a dog with deep hunting instincts, a nose that can track yesterday's squirrel, or simply an owner who appreciates the primal beauty of a dog being fully, gloriously a dog. Old-school and perfect.
