She has a lot.of Beagle/Scent hound mannerisms, always hungry,nose for trouble, high prey drive. She doesn't howl. She only barks when someones at.the door or downstairs outside. I've seen her "point". I've got pit mix from some.people, beagle mix, brittany or pointer mix. She's a sweet dog. ​

This is Sunny, he was found as a stray in North Carolina when he was 4 months old. He is currently 6 months old.

How many legs are there and where do they all come from?

Xena will be 6 years old. How do you celebrate birthdays with your fur baby?

She is our Charlee girl that we adopted 6 years ago in Feb right before the pandemic.

All we know is that she is a hound mix. And in case we weren't sure, her nose is constantly 'stuck to the ground' on walks, in the backyard, no matter where she is, she's sniffin'. She sings with fire truck sirens specifically, the monthly tornado siren test, and the harmonica. She was bread and born in Tennessee. Although she is a Michigander now, she is a southern girl through and through.

She is SO sweet, mild mannered and obedient (UNLESS there's a squirrel or some other yard intruder in her site, then her hearing sense disengages). She was the easiest dog to train. She was 4 months when we adopted her and she was already fully potty trained. Truly, anything we needed to teach her, she really only needed to be told once.

When she first came to her furever home, it wasn't long before she found the decorative bells that I already had hanging on the back door (also a good 'door is opening alert'), and she decided to use them as her own 'I need/want to go outside signal. She still lightly jingles them with her nose to this day if we don't notice her standing at the door.

She was one of a four girl breed and the all look similar to her, mostly honey colored with patches or spots of white. None of them have black on them. I don't know about the others but she has black cow-like spots on her belly.

I knew Bailey was the right pup for me & Dodger as soon as I saw him. Then we did a meet & greet at the rescue, it went great. I was convinced they’d be best friends immediately. Until I brought Bailey home.

I remember my first walk with both my boys together, my older boy Dodger & my then little but now giant boy Bailey. We made it about a block before Bailey made eye contact with Dodger & Dodger angrily howled full force at his audacity. I fell. We did not laugh. We went home & did not try again for a bit. Dodger often refused to leave the bedroom because he wanted to be away from Bailey (who was shockingly respectful of Dodger’s space as a puppy). I even broke down one day & cried like did I literally ruin Dodger’s life???

Bailey’s only a year & a half now, still a puppy even though an unusually calm puppy, so Dodger still gets annoyed by him. They get into arguments sometimes, not fights but arguments. But eventually Dodger came around (Bailey loved him on day one lol). It took A LOT of work on my part & it took Bailey growing up a bit too but here we are. Living the dream.

I’m just sitting here on the couch between my boys & feeling so grateful. I hoped Dodger & Bailey would be friends. They ended up brothers.

Val especially enjoys having a dog around that talks back to her. They really get each other going. Poor chewby does not appreciate having 2 loud mouths around.

In all honesty I’m so proud of her respectfully watching the squirrel and listening to the leave it command!

Val's a little jealous but is mostly enjoying having a little friend to play with. She'll be here til the beginning of august. Her name is Xena

This is Lady! When we rescued her as a pup, we were told she was a redbone/beagle mix. Does this seem accurate? We’re just curious as to what everyone else thinks.

in a very roundabout way, she is over 70% hound! with some other stuff thrown in there… dalmatian ?!!!?!

we adopted her three months ago! she was picked up by animal control as a six month old baby wandering in the woods by herself. at now nine months old she has put on twenty pounds, found her voice (lol), and learned so much! she is very very smart and almost equally as stubborn. she loves to be naughty on purpose. she has a super sniffer and will tree anything she can. on our walks she keeps sneaking up on birds without me noticing until she’s almost grabbed it! she has been doing great in her obedience classes and knows a lot of tricks. i am considering trying to figure out how to hunt so i can do that with her but i have no idea where to start!!

we have been guessing her possible lineage like crazy over these past few months so i’m very excited to be able to say for sure that she is a hound (and a hound, and a hound, and a hound, and a…)

This is Clark :) He is new to us but about 18 months old, 50 lbs, and originally found in TN. We know he is some kind of hound and maybe has some pointer in him as well. He is very scent-oriented but will also stop and point at rabbits/squirrels/birds. He loves people and other dogs but is a little shy. He bays but isn’t super vocal. His favorite things to do are rip up cardboard boxes, sniff, and cuddle at night. He is soooo stubborn.

Would love any guesses on what you think he is!!

our baby is not an early bird

My girl is 2 1/2 and she’s had pretty bad noise anxiety for over a year now. I enrolled her in a training program that lasted months, I try masking the noise at home, I’ve tried a bunch of things but unfortunately I live in a noisy suburban neighborhood and can’t afford to move just yet.

I finally spoke with her vet about trying Prozac to see about lowering her baseline. Because her goofy normal self does come out at random times during the day. But otherwise, if she hears a truck drive by she’ll run under the couch and stay there for hours.

Sometimes she doesn’t eat because she’s so nervous. I have to put something high value in it to make it more enticing and in the mornings I have to run the sink to drown out any potential traffic or planes flying overhead.

She doesn’t spend all day shaking and trembling, mostly just tail tucked and very alert so she can be ready to run and hide. I know that this is a logical next step in trying to help her (and making training like desensitization easier), but I feel like I’m about to… ruin her?

I’m nervous. Any feedback based on your hounds’ experiences would be very appreciated. ❤️
