English Foxhounds are moderately intelligent with an average working/obedience intelligence ranking of 79th out of 138 breeds. This places them in the fair working intelligence category, meaning they understand new commands after 40-80 repetitions and obey them 30% of the time or better. Their obedience score of 3/5 suggests they are not the easiest to train, requiring more patience and consistent effort than higher-ranking breeds. While they possess strong memory (4/5) and social intelligence (4/5), these traits don't necessarily translate to quick obedience.
