Many Hounds will drive you nuts with their howling.

I have two hounds but greyhound.x and saluki.x - no howling from them, lovely and quiet. Hardly ever bark and you only know you have them when you trip over them on the carpet or try and get a space on the sofa!

I have a black & tan coonhound and its the most loyal dog I've ever owned. Just be warned - most hounds need to be walked religiously. You need to walk them daily, or they get fat and have hip problems.

My dog is excellent with my family and we have 2 babies (2 & 6 months). Both kids pull at his fur, try to ride him, and he tolerates everything and still loves the girls.

I wouldn't hesitate to get another hound.

They howl, wonder off often and smell bad

Re: Thinking about getting a Hound Dog
OP,I've worked with many breeds throughout the years and I truly believe hounds are the best!

Personally, I have always owned Dachshunds but if I could own several more I've always longed for a Basset, a Beagle, and a Coon.

If you want a good laugh over the weekend, go out and rent the movie, "Best in Show".

It's a "mocumentary" that stars a beautiful Coon Hound.

Incidentally, one of the best qualities of the hound is their extreme sensitivity to smell.

There are many documented stories of a hound alerting it's owner to cancer cells in the body long before that person or it's doctor ever thought to check.

I've seen it happen myself. It's amazing.

Re: Thinking about getting a Hound Dog
In my opinion hounds are one of the most loyal affectionate and gentle types of dogs. But they will follow a scent wherever it leads so never let them off a leash outside a fenced area

Hi! Haha :) Obviously I'm partial, but everyone likes something different. All the dogs were so cute running around the ring, I loved the big hot dogs the best though.
