t that's what the vet said) and I have many of the noted characteristics of the breed. At about 60 pounds and age 4, I am in the prime of my life and I have excellent manners. I am also an exceptionally bright and perceptive dog, my foster family has often found me simply watching events in the household and of course, anticipating next steps in our daily routine. I am housebroken, with a perfect record of zero accidents with my foster family. They also think that I have adjusted well to the rhythm of the home. I've been micro-chipped (ouch!) and neutered (don't remember that) and I am in excellent physical condition. Bluetick Coonhounds, being more of a southern breed, do not have much body fat nor an undercoat of fur like many of their northern brethren -- lucky for me, my foster family got me a fleece "jacket" to wear (blue, of course) and it keeps me warm on chilly winter walks outside. I've been told that I don't shed much, and while I don't enjoy baths, I do recognize and accept that this is part of the deal when living with humans. I am currently being treated for an ear infection and will need regular care of my ears as my long-eared hound breeding requires a bit of extra work to keep ears in good health. The ideal family for me would be active -- I am a hunting breed, and I love to get outdoors and sniff stuff, every day. There is just so much to enjoy outdoors!! I am also quite relaxed and pleasant to my humans when I've had enough exercise. A 30 minute morning walk plus a bit of playtime in the afternoon seems to be just right for me. A fenced yard with my forever family would be a plus -- I will follow my nose to sniff the most interesting things in the neighborhood, so I do need some limits set for me. My foster family says that I've been playful yet gentle with their teenage children, and I will admit, I do like a good game of tug of war. I will also contentedly gnaw on a bone if one is available. I also enjoy snuggling and cuddling but know that getting up on the furniture is not always acceptable -- I will defer to my humans and accept their rules in this regard. I am in a crate for the workday when my people are gone, although I really think I would behave myself very well and we don't need the crate. I leave my people alone when they are eating and know that I'm not supposed to be cruising for snacks in the kitchen. I do get a bit anxious at times when my people aren't around (but exercise seems to help me somehow) and I don't really like long car rides, but I do my best to please my people and generally I do stay out of trouble. I would love to find my forever home with a family who lives ideally out in the country, or at a minimum with a large fenced yard, and where I could get a good walk in every single day and sniff lots of interesting things. I will be a trustworthy and loving member of the family. I promise to be the best dog I can be -- and I will snuggle and cuddle with you and greet you with a warm welcome each time you come home :) Interested in adopting this lovable animal?
