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 ☺️

My grown kids usurped my tv to watch the World Cup. Seems unfair as I was the one doing all the work 😒

I can, and it's clear that he greatly appreciates it.

Can you imagine the difference for a dog like this with his amazing sense of smell to be in the world versus in a shelter?

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

Thankyou for saving him and as someone who lived in Acadiana extra points for the name Gumbo! Don’t be shocked if he goes through a naughty phase once he feels completely safe in your home. Resource guarding and other behavioral problems can often arise 1-2 months after adoption from pups who lived in a shelter setting for a while. It’s only natural, they spent a long time not receiving the love and care they needed so guarding things like toys, food, and even you from other dogs may occur. Have patience, the best is yet to come for you both!

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!!
