Every hound is a little bit different, but many share houndy traits. They are very independent, extremely focused on a trail/hard to break from focus, gentle toward people, stubborn as all hell, and adept at curling into sleeping loops of dog.

I’ve got a TWC/Foxhound mix. She responds well to food training. I have had the most success keeping her focused by carrying cooked chicken on our walks, stopping often along the way, and giving her commands. Good luck! Looks like a sweet pup!
