Story
Meet June Bug a medium sized, 47 pound foxhound mix at just 9 months. She is so darn cute with those long floppy ears, alert eyes, and a black nose. Her tri color coat adds to her appeal. And another plus: She loves everyone she meets! She is estimated to be a large sized gal of over 50 pounds when full grown. Foxhounds have great personalities: even-tempered, gentle, affectionate and love to be around people as much as possible. They are active and curious (as hound dogs, they love to have their nose to the ground). Oh, and do not forget their famous barks! She is comfortable around other canines, adults, and kids. It is not known if she has met a cat. As to training, it is best to start with a refresher course in crate, house, and leash training. Jue Bug will need the right guidance mixed with consistency, repetition, and patience. Cheerful praise and lots of treats will go a long way in helping her master those daily routines. It will be worth the time and effort!Having established a bathroom routine (always after eating, playing, sleeping, and before bedtime), been given lots of attention and exercise, she will be ready to be introduced to her new crate which must be a cozy, warm, and positive place. In the beginning she will only use it for short periods of time. Eventually, the time can be increased based on her comfortableness with this second home, maybe up to 4 hours. Several daily short (30 minutes) walks will support leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walk. A secure back yard would be a plus as it would give her free time to play and burn off energy. Please note that she cannot be a running companion before the age of one when her growth plate closes.At home she would benefit from lots of attention and mental stimulation in the form of activities and play toys. That will keep her from being bored. Are you willing to take on the task of helping her transition to a new life where she is loved and appreciated?
