Title: Snowshoe hare dogs, American Foxhounds?

Just curious if this breed would be good snowshow hare dogs, faster than a beagle but ~~still a smaller sized dog~~

guess they aren't that small at 55-70 lbs

I know a few guys who have used Beagles for hunting showshoes, there are Beagles for sale if you do some digging, several websites list various gun dogs for sale. Chuck Thomas is still hauling dogs all over the country if you find one in another state.
