Description
Dog Breed: English Coonhound (short coat). Meet Dixon! Dixon needs a new home because his person was transferring for work and unable to take Dixon along. It was quickly apparent that Dixon is very social with other dogs and very much enjoys being part of a pack. He systematically makes a b line for the puppy run to comfort all the post surgery puppies and small dogs. He is like everyone's favorite uncle . He beams with compassion and care and seems truly concerned for the puppies well being. He has been tested against all types of dogs, big, small, old , young, friendly and reactive. He's really great at reading & matching energy, & making other dogs feel comfortable by reacting in an appropriate non threatening way. He is a beautiful example of a hound. Lean and well muscled: noting that his weight & muscle tone have not changed in the slightest living in a stressful environment. He is an enthusiastic eater & his stools remain solid and predictable. His energy level is best described as medium transitioning from playful & trotting to calmly sniffing. He is able to keep up physically for longer treks. He very much enjoys water play, & is comfortable with all different weather. He has been included in pack walks with other dogs and did great! Dixons personally is very sweet, empathetic, alert, intelligent and a little shy. He is great at making sure you are laughing with each adventure out with him. He is a confident explorer who occasionally trips on his own ears, gets spooked by bugs, or accidentally slurps water through his nose deep diving in the kiddy pool for the treat he dropped in there. Dixons very best quality is being able to integrate with all other kinds of dogs and the compassion he shows for other dogs. Any dog would benefit from his social skills and kind way of leadership. Dixon is just at 2 years old so well past the puppy stage & his personality can easily be anticipated, he has some training and skills on board already with sit, shake, and lay down. He is food motivated but thrives with praise as well. The possibilities are endless with Dixon, he is sure to become a great companion and adventure buddy best friend for your other fur babies!

Overview:
The English Coonhound, also known as the American English Coonhound, is a handsome and athletic breed with a rich history rooted in the American South, where they were developed for hunting raccoons and other small game. Physically, they are medium to large-sized dogs, boasting a lean, muscular build, expressive, soulful eyes, and a short, dense coat typically found in redtick, bluetick, tricolor, or bicolored patterns. Temperamentally, English Coonhounds are generally affectionate, good-natured, and intelligent, making them wonderful companions for active families. However, their strong prey drive and characteristic "baying" bark mean they are often not ideal for apartment living and require a secure, fenced yard for their ample exercise needs. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and eye problems. With proper training and socialization, they can be incredibly loyal and loving additions to the right household.
