Medium energy hound breeds?

4 Upvotes

I have a beagle/foxhound cross and I love him dearly but he is truly the laziest dog I have ever met. I’m a big hiker and outdoorsman (fishing, hiking, kayaking, hunting) but I don’t even hike particularly long distances and my pup just doesn’t like them. Doesn’t like the outdoors at all actually.

He’s getting on in years so thinking a bit on my next dog. I love hounds for their affable and friendly personalities.

Overall looking for a breed that:

-doesn’t exceed 80lbs
-likes water and wants to swim
-enough energy to want to hike 5 miles or generally be outside all day engaging in various activities
-enjoys fetch
-is naturally quite friendly

So sad to think about what this dog has been through. Part of her tail is cut off, she has a big scar on her face, and shes afraid of everything and everyone especially men. 5 adoption meetings before me but nobody wanted her. I've wanted a little hound just like her for years now and when I learned more about her I knew she had to be my dog. Its been 2 days and shes already starting to show me that she feels safe. I can't wait to watch her become herself ❤️

Hello everyone, this is our newly adopted six month old puppy Bruna. We adopted her for a Rescue Centre in Greece and she is currently 11.5 kg. We have been wondering what breed or mix of breed she is as we have no clue. We think perhaps plott hound or Greek hare hound but would love some additional opinions!

Any sled dog hounds around?

3 Upvotes

Have any of you trained your hound to pull a sled (or a bike or to skijor)? I have an American foxhound who loves to pull. I saw a used kicksled for sale and it got me thinking it might be fun to train him up as a short distance/just for fun sled dog. Curious if anyone else has a sled dog hound! 😊
