Trivia: George Washington is recognized as the father of what dog breed?
Jack Russell terrier
Dalmatian
Boston terrier
American foxhound
The correct answer is American foxhound
So why is this answer correct? : George Washington was known to have a variety of dogs living with him at Mount Vernon, but his favorite was his own breed, the American foxhound. Washington was in search of a hunting dog that was faster than the English foxhound, so he bred those dogs with aggressive French hound dogs and created a new breed.
