r/coonhounds

My girl Winnie got pregnant and had 9 pups and they’ve all got new homes now as it’s been about 7 months, I miss my puppy love I use to come home from a rough days work and just lay down and let all of them tear me up with love ❤️❤️ there was highs and lows to taking care of those pups but I knew it would be temporary and I enjoyed them so much. I did keep 2 out of the litter and they are now my unhired trench crew 😂😅
2 people did try to guilt me into taking the pups back because they were honestly probably just ignorant to what having a coonhound is like (so was I!) one was in the beginning I did take back and rehome and another was even recently sending me threats of taking to the dog pound, I had to refuse the second one because I’ve got 4 dogs already and felt so terrible. But how do you return a free dog 7-8 months after receiving ?? And I’m suppose to fix your lack of training?? Smh

Marni is only 20 weeks old but sure has a voice on her already 😁 and apparently not very fond of cats.

Jefferson is making his debut on Independence Day as he should since he’s named after another famous redhead that wrote the Declaration of Independence 🇺🇸

Jeff is a gorgeous 4 year old American English Coonhound that was found as a stray in rural Kentucky. Thanks to some dedicated volunteers Jefferson became a Hero Hound!

Living in a house is new to him so we’re working on house training and crate training. Jeff is great with other dogs of all sizes and ages. He likes to play and enjoys toys & bones. Jeff has a little more vetting required but once that is done he will be available for adoption. Get your apps in early because this boy won’t last!

Jefferson is located is middle Tennessee but transport is available for approved adopters. Apply at herohounds.org/adopt.

Our 2 y/o Beagle/TWC wishes you all a wonderful Fourth of July!

Now tell Lucielle what a great job she did! It's the fifth time she's "found" her today!

I feel like crying even writing this post.

Our coonhound mix is allergic to everything. And I mean, fucking. everything. I’ve never had a dog or pet for that matter have so many health problems.

We finally did an allergy test and it’s so overwhelming to read the report. His food sensitivities are out of control, his environmental allergies basically mean he’s allergic to air, he’s already gotten 4 apoquel per day (5.4 mg, 2 in morning, 2 at night) and he’s still honk coughing, having runny nose/snot rockets, itching until he bleeds in some places, and now they’re talking about doing immunotherapy for him.

He’s only 9 months old and immunotherapy should be effective for his age, but we’re so overwhelmed with the cost of everything and his quality of life. Fuck it, I am crying writing this. Has anyone dealt with something this extreme health wise? Please tell me it gets better because I’m so fucking stressed about this regardless of all the other shit we’ve had to deal with in 2026.

Anyone else hound use whatever random objects they can find as makeshift pillows? 😂

2 one year old coonhounds did this and got 5 year old mom back into her old ways 😂 I’ve filled this in about 5 times already with their poop and it just never ends. I’m really happy I haven’t got my mind on having a “perfect” back yard. But I’m ready for this stage to be over😅 their mom did this on a smaller scale with single holes from time to time but this is a whole nother level.

It's been a month now since I started fostering Nancy through Helpless Hounds and she's recovered enough from her initial medical drama to get comfortable and start to be very naughty- which I'm so grateful for! Heartworm treatment is brutal and I'm not looking forward to her feeling sick again after her injections, but she's fully transformed into a loony coony now that she's put on weight and had a month of meds!

I'm surprised by her results! I was 100% convinced there was some sighthound in there! I know DNA results only go back three generations and they don't account for bad breeding, but I never expected 100% Walker.

If anyone has experience with keeping a very active coonhound calm during heartworm treatment I'd love to hear it. I'm scared!

What type of dog is this?

when she wags and waves her tail it is so precious

My good boy is almost 8
