Say Hello to Lily!
12/07/15 at 06:00:38

Just about a year ago, Sarah our Black and Tan Coonhound passed away at the ripe old age of 15. She was a great dog and gave us a lot of joy, and she outlived her brothers and sister by about 5 years! She was a very tough dog - but very loving and eager to please. We miss her terribly.

We just got a new puppy...half Rottweiler and half Coonhound, and hopefully she will have all the good stable traits of both those breeds. For an 8 week old puppy she seems to be incredibly quick to learn and it has only taken a couple days to work out the "hold it until you get outside" bathroom routine! She is a bundle of energy when she is awake.....which is about 1 hour of awake for every 4 hours of nap/sleep.

Having a dog is important -- for example my wife simply isn't happy without a dog.

Her dog is her constant companion and her dog talks to her both verbally and with nose pointing gestures -- there is real communications going on there.

If she is out of town the broken hearted dog comes and stays by me, but has lower expectations of my understanding him completely.

When mommy comes home, the dog announces his total joy with full belling as he runs to the door, which for a full sized 50 pound deer beagle inside a house can threaten your hearing.

Deer beagles were long legged beagles bred for running deer instead of running fox (the English origins). Some form of coursing hound was used, one with the second clear eyelid for protection when bursting through brush.

No matter what he started out as, he has been turned into a new breed by my wife.

I call the new type of breed a Pillow Bagel.

I am anxious to see Lily in 10 years. Kenny G

Hi Miss Lily, such A pretty gal she is. I love her markings.
Dave it looks like you have already done a great job of
bonding with her.
It makes me wonder when she is fully grown what her bark will
sound like?
My Rottie rip John Wayne had a loud bark that could be heard for
quite a ways from the house.
I wish you and her all the best and keep the pics coming of her..
Hugs, Kim, Genie and Shadow

Lilly will be lavished with love and attention....but will not be allowed to become spoiled. She will have to learn how to behave, to be a welcome guest at anyone's home or business. She will be expected to stay outside when we are not home so she can guard the house and garage, and keep the neighbors cows out of our yard when they escape their fence. We have about 4 acres of yard with an underground wire around it, so she will be in charge of running "patrol" while we are away. She will not be allowed to bark randomly - but will be expected to let us know when someone pulls in the driveway (our 4 legged alert system). In the rural area we live there are daytime burglar visits about once a year......and we don't ever want to be the house that they choose to rob.

No....I don't see a sidecar in my future. Lily will be a companion on visits to the hardware store and Tractor Supply, and to when I go to visit friends and neighbors. We take our dog on camping trips and when we go visit family on holidays.....she will be an integral part of the family and will never be chained behind the barn and ignored!

One big goal I have for Lily, is to be the kind of dog that will stay near me and not wander off. Our last dog "Sarah" would stay near me when I was walking in the woods - but if I stopped for any reason, her nose would take over and she would start following trails and not pay any attention to staying with me. Similarly if I stopped to talk to a neighbor while on a walk....I would constantly have to keep calling her back when she wandered off too far. I have friends who can come over and bring their dog, and if they come into the house their dog will stay outside for hours and never wander off.....even on the first visit to a new place he stays within a few hundred feet of the house and doesn't get into any mischief. I realize this is too tall of an order for a puppy - but as Lily grows I hope she can learn to hang around me....I would love to be able to just take her along whenever I have an outdoor project to work on. I used to throw Sarah in the trailer and haul her out to gather firewood.....but it was a constant battle to keep her from wandering off while I was loading wood.

Lofty goals, delicate line,

Offer learning opportunities before you know they are ready.
Time and patience, daily working,
I've had two good dogs, as an adult, as a kid,Generally ,my dog wasn't running with me, but the day two boxers got after me, he was. He ran in, distracted them while I beat it,then he ran for hills,too.
Just some beagle mix mutt, but he saved my butt that day.
The smartest, best dogs I've had were mix breed mutts.

The shepherd/ beagle was a funny looking, yet nice looking dog.
I got him in the Air Force.
