For example, the American Kennel Club lists "hounds" in a separate category. I know that before the English language developed in England, all canines were called "hounds" and then "dog" was used later.

A hound is a hunting dog. The hounds are divided into two classes: Sight hounds (eg Afghan) and Scent hounds (eg Bloodhound).

All of the breeds of dogs are divided up into 7 groups. The Hound Group is just one of the seven groups of dogs. Hounds are then sub categorized into 2 sub groups, sight hounds, and scent hounds.
In reality tho', the word "dog" refers to the male of the species, and the word "b*tch" refers to the female of the species.

Obedience commands are tricks that make a dog behave and keep thm under control like sit stay Tricks are for fun and make the dogs more fun like shake But sme classes teach both And some people just group everything together they're all commands :) And sit and shake are both very common commands so maybe they group those all together

Hounds are dogs...
Hounds were bred specifically for hunting - they have honed skills and abilities that regular dog breeds lack.
Another example of dogs are terriers - these were bred as hunters too.
They are all dogs - just sub-categorized by ability and type of breeding.
i.e. we are all humans, from there we can say some are african, asian, etc.

different breeds of dogs for different functions. hounds are hunters and trackers of game. they use sight and smell for these functions. as far as im concerned, all canines that are tame, are dogs. just different uses for their talents.seven catagories for the akc if this helps.
