Reply to comment by ZogNowak in Gumbo, my new Coon Hound who had been in the animal shelter for 2 years. by ZogNowak

I got a puppy whose mother was a hunting dog, a Brittany, but the puppy was gun shy so she would have been culled. She was the best dog ever. I bet Gumbo was sent to the shelter because he was useless for hunting. And now he has the best life ever!!

That's exactly why he ended up in the shelter.

Aw! We got a walker hound/ Bassett mix a year and a half ago. He is taller like a walker hound but his ears are so much bigger 😂 he loves playing in the field with "his donkeys" (they're my mother in law's, but Waylon loves them) we try to familiarize him with guns/noises, but so far they do seem to just make him anxious. The mother (walker hound) does go coon hunting with other dogs the people we got ours from, so we think we could train him if we really wanted - but for now he's just trained in the basics for treats ☺️
