"Classification of hunting dogs that is more general than setter, retriever, pointer, or other sporting dog categories. Most hounds were bred and trained to track by scent or sight. Scent hounds (e.g., bloodhound, dachshund) are trained to scent in the air or on the ground. Sight hounds (e.g., saluki, Afghan hound) were developed to chase game by sight over long distances. Hounds such as beagles, basset hounds, and foxhounds run in packs; Afghan hounds, borzois, salukis, and others run alone."

Ernesto is currently missing as many as five teeth (current as of January 20, 2010). Different causes of tooth loss may have occurred, and are currently under investigation.

He was once attacked and bitten by a rattlesnake.

He thoroughly enjoys long walks through the park, on or off the leash, although his owner (who will remain anonymous at this time), rarely lets him off the leash when not on private property.

Ernesto also loves working with horses, mainly involved in [[Media:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_racing]]. He serves as a watchful eye over the training regimens that his owner runs many different horses through.
