Q&A
answer · American Foxhound
I highly recommend an American English Coonhound. They are friendly and have great personalities. Just note that they require a lot of physical and mental stimulation, so if you have a yard or access to open spaces, that's a big plus.

My American Foxhound's recall is something I’ve worked hard on. They can be very independent and drawn to scents, which makes it tricky sometimes. We sometimes practice with a long line to reinforce the command, and it really helps.
answer · American Foxhound
One thing that works well for us is going on longer hikes. Foxhounds are bred for endurance, so they thrive on that kind of physical activity. We also play hide and seek with their toys, which keeps their minds engaged as well. It’s a win-win for tiring them out!
answer · American Foxhound
Honestly, I didn’t expect how vocal my American English Coonhound would be. They bark and howl a lot, especially when they catch a scent. It can be quite amusing and sometimes a bit overwhelming.
answer · American Foxhound
Yes, it's really beneficial! My Coonhound gets so excited during these games, and it burns off a lot of excess energy.
answer · American Foxhound
My Coonhound loves to dig in the yard. One day, he dug up a pair of my old shoes and brought them to me as a 'gift.' I couldn't stop laughing at the muddy mess he made, but I appreciated the thought.
answer · American Foxhound
Haha, yes! My Coonhound is a scent machine. What starts as a quick walk often turns into an adventure. They have such a strong prey drive; it’s hard to keep them on a leash. Just embrace the chaos, it’s part of their charm!
answer · American Foxhound
Definitely! My Coonhound loves them.

What's your funniest story involving your dog's nose?
answer · American Foxhound
I never expected my American Foxhound to be quite so affectionate. They have this sweet and gentle side that just warms your heart. Despite their hunting background, they love being around family and can be surprisingly cuddly. Plus, they have an innate ability to make you smile with their goofy antics.
answer · American Foxhound
Every walk is a new mystery! My Coonhound checks out every smell like he's on a mission. I've learned to embrace his curious nature, but sometimes I just want to get moving!
