Fails GNG, the single source provided not RS. I have found references to “Virginia foxhounds” in three books,  all mention it as a progenitor of the Black and Tan Coonhound but none of them state anything else at all and none mention the “Black and Tan”.

 * Delete unless some proper sources can be found. I've searched, and come up with nothing of any use. I found five mentions in the identical blurb that prefaces a reprint of each of five old books published without ISBN by Read Books (these five), which I think can safely be discounted. Even the one solitary (and patently non-WP:RS) source in the article no longer has a page on it, taking you instead to one on the Black and Tan Coonhound. The Virginia Foxhound is supposedly the state dog; but the Virginia Foxhound appears to be a club and an annual foxhound show in Virginia, but not a dog breed.

 * Delete as per JLAN. Its name is mentioned - and only its name! - in some books. Just because something exists does not mean that it requires an article on Wikipedia, especially when there is no reliable verbiage to go with it.
