Yes, they are.
Hound dogs "bay"--aaarrrrrrOOOOO! That's the best I can do. Most hounds are the product of many generations of cross-breeding and in-breeding to produce certain hounds with certain qualities. Some hound breeders do not consider the dog a true hound if it doesn't bay. There are scent hounds (Bloodhound, Catahoula, Walker, Blue-tick, Plott) and sight hounds (Saluki, Borzoi, Greyhound) and some bay, some don't.
