[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 2223966, member: 56428"] Awesome story and I feel your pain. One day out of no where my wide decided she wanted a hound and not just any old hound she had her mind made up she wanted a Walker. I said "honey hounds arent like normal dogs" she said she didnt care so the search began. I didnt drive 600 miles plus I got to buy our dog Copper and an airline ticket from Iowa. We got her the day we picked her up at the air port my wife was crying with excitement. She took that pup out of the crate and I dont think that hound walked 100 steps the first 2 months we had her, my wife carried her everywhere. We did the same dog door but first I had to put up a 6 ft cedar fence around the back yard (340ft worth). I told her hounds are hard headed she said they just need love. Copper will not listen to one word she says haha. Remember the not normal dog comment well let me tell you what a hound gets out of the yard you dont run after them and calling is worthless you get in the d@mn truck and follow them till they decide its time to come home. The longest was Copper ran into a yard with the gate open and when I got her loaded up the return trip to my house was 7 miles. About the 7 month mark of ownership Dad took over training, shes now a old hound 13 and she listens great to me. I hate to admit it but she turned out to be an amazing dog although there isnt a raccoon, skunk or possum safe around our place and believe me when she sounds off at 2am baying cause there is a raccoon in the yard the whole house knows it for sure. Good luck with your pup she sure is a cutie... [/QUOTE]
