The current aggregated market price for Houndour is about $6.28. TCGplayer listing prices for this printing span roughly $4.85 (lowest listed) to $126 (highest listed), with a mid-point near $6.23. The high end of that spread often reflects outlier asking prices well above what copies typically sell for, so treat the market price above — not the top of the listing range — as the going rate. These figures are aggregated from marketplace data and change over time; the live price and full price history are shown above on this page.
For context, the Dragons Exalted set has a median card value near $1.71 and an average near $25.19, so this card sits below the typical card in the set.

These are distinct cards rather than a single listing; compare the set, collector number, and rarity when identifying a specific copy.
Check the collector number printed in the card's bottom corner: it should read 74/124, alongside the Dragons Exalted set symbol. Because Houndour appears on 27 other cards, the set and collector number — not the name alone — identify this exact printing.
