Fails GNG, the single source provided not RS. I have found references to “Virginia foxhounds” in three books,^[1]^[2]^[3] 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. William Harristalk 23:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
