Most types of hounds hunt in packs and when a quarry is treed, cornered, or run down the hounds will attack the quarry. The hounds, having often traveled often great distances, often over a long time, and having learned the pack rewards of catching a quarry, will often nip, bite, or fight for they quarry. Loose, or extra, skin can have the effect of protecting the hound's vital organs and muscles from other members of the pack.
