Max is the kind of hound who lives for movement, connection, and the outdoors- he loves to cuddle, loves to roughhouse, loves his walks, and absolutely lives to run full-speed with those long foxhound legs stretched all the way out. He's food motivated, loves every snack offered, and thinks exercise, yard patrol, and snacks form the holy trinity of happiness.
Snuggly, affectionate, great on walks, eager to be with his people, and happy snoozing in the bed- He's been a well loved house dog for five years and it shows! Everyone agrees he's a genuinely sweet, affectionate, playful dog.
Max is social, especially with the *right* dogs. He prefers friendly dogs who play like he does - chasing, wrestling, and big goofy energy. He's not interested in cats.
Max *loves* to do classic hound yard work. He patrols the fence line, trees squirrels, alerts to mysterious backyard intruders like possums and groundhogs, and takes his self-appointed job as Yard Security Officer very seriously. Outdoor access is his love language.
Max will do best in a home with lots of space and plenty of exercise to help him relax and reset. His ideal match is someone with an active, outdoorsy lifestyle who wants a companion for hikes, sniffing sessions, yard surveying, and long naps afterward. He’d love a fenced yard, plenty of outdoor access and maybe a goofy wrestling buddy who matches his play style. Someone who appreciates hound instincts and can give him quality one-on-one time would be perfect for him.
Regarding crate training: He'll go into a crate when asked, but because it has only been used as a timeout spot after counter surfing adventures, he currently sees it as punishment rather than a cozy den. With positive reinforcement, he could learn to love it.
Max was surrendered because he was recently startled awake and reacted out of character, resulting in a nip. Max will need some guidance with his sleep startle response if it continues to be an issue. This is a relatively easy and even enjoyable behavior to work on with predictable routines, gentle wake-ups, and plenty of positive reinforcement.
