[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a bluetick coonhound that I adopted at 5 years old.  She wasn't socialized properly as puppy so she had a myriad of behavioral issues that could have been prevent.  But, the whole personality and purpose of the breed is not for me.  They are very independent and their jobs are to lead their owners to whatever is being hunted.   I will never get another breed from the hound class.[/quote]

I would agree that the independence of the hound class can be disconcerting.  I grew up with a bassett hound, and I dearly loved him, but at around age 8 or 9, he basically didn't even like to sleep in the house, he always wanted to just sleep in the barn or even just on the grass under the stars.  Unlike my current lab, which, unlike a PP's experience, is totally sweet and kind and well-mannered, and really everyone in my family's best friend (we rescued him 9 years ago at around 2 y.o.), we like to think he is just grateful that's why he's so sweet.[/quote]

OMG!  Bringing me to tears!  My childhood Bassett hound basically moved out to sleep under the stars in the summer and the barn in winter!  He was always loving and sweet but just wanted to be outside on his own. I remember coming home from parties in the summer and finding him outside and just laying next to him and both of us literally looking st a starry sky. Now I enjoy my interactive Labrador. [/quote]
