[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had several hounds (redbone, treeing walker) and while they are slightly bigger than what you're looking for (50-65 lbs) and not hypoallergenic, they are by far the best dogs I've seen with kids - CRAZY loving. My high strung 9 yo calls our treeing walker his therapy dog b/c she is so committed to making him feel happy and safe. Bonus: there are lots of them available from rescues in the area that pull from high-kill shelters in the South. [/quote]

I had a bluetick and wouldn't ever get a hound again.  Her whole life revolved around showing me where every varmint was..  Point being - while some people (like PP) have great experience with a certain type or breed others do not - dogs are individual.  My dog now is perfect - a black lab mix that we got from the shelter 13 years ago.  He's been amazing - was on his own.  What really helped us select the right dog was the advice we got on selecting dogs from the the book 'The Art of Raising a Puppy"

Good luck.
