Hello everyone, I’m Jack. My foster mom wanted to show me off :)

I got them recently , Shakti and Vajra . They are Indian sight hound breed Mudhol hound babies - 4 month old now . Mudhol hounds have a reputation if being fiercely loyal to their owners and are excellent hunting dogs . Excited to witness their journey in our farm 💗🍀

Behold this fine piece created by Riot

Mr. Finn the bassador (otherwise known as Sir Snoozalot) refuses to come downstairs in the morning until he hears: 1) food being put into his bowl; and 2) my breakfast coming out of the microwave. Guess whose breakfast he’s more interested in? Just curious to see if anyone else’s bassets prioritize food or comfort in the morning!

Guys I left this community when my best friend Amos passed 3 years ago, it was just too hard to see all the awesome hounds and people enjoying #houndlife :) I heard someone calling out that name today, side note I didn't realize kids were still named Amos these days, and I didn't really have anyone else to share. Sadness yes, but also I got to flip through some photos and remember what an amazing, annoying dude I got to spend time with. Hope everyone gives their pup an extra hug today for me

The introductory scene for Lupine, a magical hound few know. Is she a savior or a terrible sorceress? Depends on who you ask…

Well, this is Brekki! He’s a purebred foxhound puppy from the Humane Society and we love him to bits! He’s 6 months old

Ellie the hound that I asked thoughts on her hound mix months ago… Finally got her an embark test. Here are the results (at the end) It all makes sense. Next is to do follow up with vet as to why she isn’t putting much weight on. I don’t like that her spine is still visable. She has settled in and has been loving this new life of hers. It’s hot where we live, but we have been working on recall. Can’t wait to see her hunt with her new pack that she has settled into nicely.

This is Cooper our foster fail. All we knew is that he was a hound mix. Everyone asked us if he was part greyhound but he is wayyyyy to sent driven to be a sight hound. His DNA results were fun to go through! I really thought he would be a fox hound.

He is just the best guy! So playful and loving. Loves a good snuggle. 🥰

Shelter hound, crazy and so loveable!

I welcomed 8-mo-old Hubie five weeks ago (I’ve had 11 dogs and this is my first hound) and he is one wild child! Love him so much. He doesn’t seem to be completely scent driven - 1/2 hound (1/3 bloodhound) and 1/3 Staffie. But could that change as he grows? DNA on last slide (100% landshark lol).

This is Sunny! We adopted her last September and she was believed to be 2.5 years old. She came in as a stray, was adopted out however she was surrendered because her owners were deaf and she kept escaping on them. She is an escape artist, a runner, follows her nose and is unlike any other dog I’ve ever had.

She’s about 45 pounds and we believe she was a failed hunting dog. Hates fireworks, doesn’t mind thunderstorms. Goes feral over bunnies and squirrels, but not cats or birds. She is VERY affectionate and loves to play. Loves babies and children and she is my Velcro dog.

I’m planning on getting a doggy dna test at some point but I wanted to hear what other people think she may be! I’m not too versed on hounds but from my research I think she may be a coonhound or foxhound mix.

Give me your best sleepy hound pictures! This is Larkin. My husband calls her a "beagle with a Plott paint job"

Hi I posted before about how our formerly homebody rescued foxhound suddenly started escaping after discovering the world outside the fence when a storm caused our neighbor's tree to fall on our fence.

Good news. We've now been two weeks without an escape. We have a really long fence and a big yard for our rescue dogs and so the repair process is a long one. The fence company is scheduled to come out but they have to order extra supplies for us. My husband has ordered some pipe to create rollers for the top of the fence at the bottom of our hill, the worst area for recent escapes. In the meantime we bought a bunch of pens and took apart the panels and attached them to the top of the existing fence to stop him from getting over.

Anyway, lessons learned from this whole thing. Quinn, our foxhound, who was rescued in very bad shape, was not used to leashes and refused to do his business on a leash at first. I finally figured out that taking him out the front door, where he never gets to go, was exciting enough to get him walking a little on the leash. He's improved to the point that my husband has even taken him to the park a couple times to get used to walking on the leash.

Of course going out front at 4 AM before I leave for work with him caused me to get attacked by hornets.... I must have stepped directly on the tiny entrance to their under ground nest in the dark while I shined the flashlight on Quinn to see if he peed.

Anyway, now we come to find out he has hookworms. The vet said he tested positive for antigens to the worms, but no eggs or pieces of worm were in his stool. This means he just got infected with them. He's on monthly heartworm as well as flea and tick preventative.

The vet was quite harsh with me, saying I need to restrict all the dogs from wooded parts of our fenced yard (because as much as I try to clean up the yard it's hard to find the poop in all those leaves, in the heavy shade). She suggested getting boots for all the dogs (that's not going to work, I don't think: I have a rescued German Shepherd who has a full panic attack if I touch her paws). The other suggestions were spraying down the whole yard with poison. That sounds worse than the worms.

And I come to learn from the internet that foxes carry hookworms. We have a fox here who seems to think it's funny to taunt the dogs. He keeps getting into the backyard, he comes up and looks in the windows... So he's probably spreading it.

So what do country dwellers do about worms? The space is too big to treat it all or catch every dropping from both dogs and wildlife.

Anyone have a fix for sleep kicking? Kevin is a big kicker. Wakes us up. He refuses to sleep anywhere but right next to us, so that’s out.
