In the movie The Fox and the Hound, Copper is a young "hound dog." In other words, a hunting dog. Hunting dogs are chosen and trained to have an amazing sense of smell. Copper is able to find Todd because of his smell.
The animal has been known to climb roofs of houses and to dash into nearby cottages in desperate efforts to shake off its pursuers.
Those types of hounds are trained to recognize the smell of a fox, allowing them to catch it's scent and follow it to the source. Humans created this breed to try and bring down the fox population, which would often kill chickens and the like.

YOICKS ! A sound to urge hounds on for a chase ?????
Some breeds of hounds run faster than other breeds of hounds. It really depends on the length of their legs and what quarry they were bred to chase. In the case of fox hounds, they run very fast, thus fox hunters must be mounted in order to keep up with them. Beagles, which are smaller and have shorter legs were bred to chase rabbits. Although rabbits are fast, the hounds hunt by scent rather than sight, thus as they track their quarry, nose to the ground and are rarely in a full run. Orininally bred with short legs so they could follow the rabbit down the hole, in hunting today, the hounds are called off and the hunt ends when the quarry "goes to ground". This is also the case in Fox hunting.
They sneak up on them, then POUNCE on them.
