Description:

Hang on to your hat and grab a leash because Coppertone is ready for adventure! This handsome, 1
year old, Redbone Coonhound is strong and full of playful energy. Though he needs some work on his
manners, his enthusiasm for life is contagious and sure to make you smile. While Coppertone (or
Copper to his friends) is a submissive boy, he loves to romp and play with his canine friends. An
adopter who loves adventure and has a fenced yard would be perfect for this boy. Whether you enjoy
hiking, camping or exploring the great outdoors, Copper would be thrilled to accompany you. He
appears to be house trained and crate trained, is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives
and eager to find a family to love!

Sounds like my kind of dog!

Congratulations, John. After the last evening didn’t think you’d get another, but...

I hope you can have lots of joy with it...

Well, I hope you didn't give out our names for references.
Exposing that poor unsuspecting animal to your Hillbilly Hoedowns would be considered animal cruelty in civilized society.

He looks like a load of energy. Hope you have a good place to run with
him. He looks like a good dog tho.
How old is he?

This isn't one of your northern foo foo dogs you carry around in your
purse.
He is a coon hound. That is the ultimate "hillbilly" dog. I bet he
will sing along at the bluegrass festivals and the people there will
love him. I actually looked at a Walker coon hound when we were
looking at dogs and he was on the short list but my wife really wanted
a lab puppy.

Is it absolutely necessary for you to attempt insults with every post you make?

Do you recall saying this:

"Y'all never miss a chance to wreck a pleasant thread, do you?"

Do you not see some hypocrisy there?

No, I did not give you or Harry as a reference. Neither of you are a veterinarian, and neither of
you have exhibited a high degree of integrity.

This same agency has a treeing walker coonhound, which I like also. If the Redbone falls through,
which it may if it has severe health problems, then I'll check out the treeing walker.

We had our eyes on a red bone at another agency. Then the lady said,

"John:

I might add that Nanny will require heartworm treatment, so will have to be kept very quiet for a
couple of months."

This was the third communication about the dog, and she's just getting to the fact that the dog has
heartworms. I called my vet to discuss the situation. She told me I'd be much better off looking for
another dog, especially after what I went through with the last one.

How old is he?

One year. Just about out of the puppy stage. I don't run, but he'll get a couple 1-2 mile walks
every day along with frisbee throwing in the back yard.

That sounds like what we were going through. It seemed every adoption
agency was full of very sick dogs. I have always had much better luck
at the pound. It is brutal but they just put sick dogs down. They also
put down a lot of healthy ones tho. My problem was everything seemed
to be pit bull mixes except the Walker I liked. It is funny that my
wife was worried that the Walker might be too "active" for us and then
she got a Lab puppy. This guy goes all day. I am not sure what I would
do if we didn't have a pool. I can wear his ass out playing "fetch the
fender" (yeah a "boat" fender, just to stay on topic).
We swim laps like I did with Mr Ed too.
BTW his "lifesaving" trick is coming right along. He has pretty much
figured out, if you grab his tail, he is supposed to pull you over to
the steps. He doesn't even turn around and look anymore. I try to do
that every time we are in the pool, a few times, so he gets used to it
just being what he is supposed to do. It was automatic with Ed. He
would come get you.

The dog does most of the "running" ;-)
I am a "jog" at best. I usually make 2 or 3 trips down to the end of
FPL. Deuce does it 5 or 6 times. If we are doing a long walk I go up
to the scrub (park). This time of year we pretty much have the place
to ourselves and it is laced with interlocking trails.

These people are overstating the marsh land. That is really just one
trail by the river. (closed this time of year anyway) Most of it is
sandy upland scrub.
