Buddy is my Coon hound, he is a black and tan. If you have never had a Coon hound then you are missing a good dog. Buddy was a rescue dog that had bounced around various shelters from Houston to San Antonio and others when we came across him at a Market Days on the Square in our little town. Another shelter was trying to move him on. He was about 5 mo old. We took him into the family of 3, none of which weighed over 12 lbs. Now his family extends to a total of 5, still none over 12 lbs other than Buddy at around 75.

Buddy is NOT the Alpha dog of the house. In fact we have to feed him separate from the other dogs as they will take his food from him. I have never see him raise a hackle on any of the other 4 at all. They take his food, run him out of his bed etc. Buddy is also a lap dog, yea, he lays across my lap, rear feet on the ground and goes to sleep. Buddy is just plan polite. But open the door and when he crosses the threshold he is Alpha male.

Buddy is a hunter, one of the best hunting Coon hounds I have ever seen and I have hunted them over many years. His world is up in the trees, squirrel, possum, coon. If it hangs out in a tree he will find it. We have NO varmints here, none. Today he nailed another one, chased it down, grabbed before it tree'd and sent it to the promised land.

If you want a dog for your children and grand children, nothing better than a Coon dog. He will defend his family all of them to the death, they kids cannot pull his tail, jerk his ears or gouge his eyes enough to ever raise a hackle.

But don't think he is all hunting and playing, Buddy owns his own company and over sees the R&D and a manufacturing company, one smart dog....

If you have a dog show and tell...

No big ones right now, we have three under 15 lbs. all over 10 and getting old. Lost one who was really special, picture below. Last big one is seen below with our son . Checkers was a great dog, gentle, but very protective. Never had to worry about bear or coyotes in the yard.

When I was a LOT younger, there was a friend that I used to go coon hunting with, those were coon dogs, never seen the inside of a house, always in their kennels, their praises came after they treed a coon and that is about all the attention they ever got, they were Beagles.
On the other hand, Dad decided We childrens could have a dog, I and my sister picked it out, a black and white beagle looking thing and it was a real hunter all right, no money to get it fixacated, so, when We childrens went outside, the dog was sure to follow, He`d stick around for a few minutes or so, then, soon as We turned, His nose was in the air and offt to hunting He`d go. :drool: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :busted:
A very affectionate dog all right, He just loved sleeping with My brother and I, I sometimes still miss that old dog. Touzer was its name.

I have to tell you about my college friends dog, Jiggy:
My friend went off to the university, but halfway through the semester he foolishly has squandered all of his money.

He calls home. 'Dad,' he says, 'you won't believe what modern education is developing. They actually have a program here at the University that could teach our dog "Jiggy" how to talk.'

'That's amazing!' his Dad says 'How do I get Jiggy in that program?'

'Just send him in here with $1200,' the young lad says, 'I'll get him in the course.' So his father sends the dog "Jiggy"and $1200.

About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The young lad calls home.

'So how's Jiggy doing, son?' his father wants to know.

'Awesome! Dad, he's talking up a storm. But you just won't believe this. They've had such good results with talking, they've begun to teach the animals how to read..'

'Read?!' exclaims his father. 'No kidding! How do we get our Jiggy in that program?'

'Just send $2300. I'll get him in the class for sure.' The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk nor read. So he shoots the dog.

When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited. 'Where's my Jiggy? I just can't wait to talk with him, and see him read something!'

'Dad,' the young lad says, 'I have some grim news.

Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Jiggy was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Minneapolis Tribune, Then he suddenly turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead working in the bakery at the grocery store?''

The father groans and whispers, 'I hope you shot that son of a bitch before he talks to your Mother!'

'I sure did, Dad!'

'That's my boy!'

The kid went on to be a successful lawyer, and later on, he became a politician.
