Ivanhoe came to us from a high kill shelter. His time was up and he's now looking for his forever home. His fur is creamy white with a couple freckles on his face. He walks well on a leash and does not pull. He is curious when he sees cats. Ivanhoe is great with other dogs and kids, but he can be a little mouthy when he plays so keep that in mind. He hardly barks and does not complain much, but sometimes when you crate him he will try to get your attention by talking some. He has a great, even temperment and does well with pretty much everyone he meets. Such a sweetie!!
Volunteer Update: I sat with Ivanhoe at our Oviedo store yesterday and the more time I spend with this boy the more I like him. I love bringing him to events because I know he will be great with all the other dogs as well as all the people. He is such a good boy! He loves getting attention and LOVES treats and is so eager to please. He is crate trained and would be a great family dog. He does have a tendency to jump up on the counter or the crate if there's a bag of treats up there that he wants, but he responds well to corrections and doesn't really jump on people. He let me clean his ears without much fuss, but he does not like his paws being handled so his adopters will have to work on that and keep his nails short with lots of walks (which he needs anyway) or by taking him to a groomer to trim them. Ivanhoe is such a sweet boy! It kills me that he hasn't been adopted yet. Come meet this great dog and fall in love for yourself!
Volunteer Update: I took Ivanhoe to an event a couple weekends ago and I could not believe what a fantastic dog he is! He gets along with pretty much every other dog he meets and he's so sweet! There were kids of all ages coming up to him and petting him and he just soaked up the attention. He didn't even mind being petted when he had a toy in his mouth - he's very gentle and sweet. He does have a lot of energy and he's still a young boy, so he needs a family that will engage him and make sure he gets lots of exercise. He's very smart and food motivated which will go a long way with training. I don't know why Ivanhoe gets overlooked - he would make a great family dog! Come meet Ivanhoe today!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the English Coonhound is also known as the Redtick Coonhound. It has been said that the history of the English Coonhound is the history of all coonhounds. With the exception of the Plott Hound, most coonhounds can be traced back to the English Foxhound. In 1905 the English Coonhound was first registered by UKC under the name of English fox & Coonhound. Back then they were used for fox hunting much more than they are today. The name reflected the similarity that the breed had to the American Foxhound and the English foxhound. While the Redbone and Black and Tan were given separate breed status, all other treeing coonhounds were called English after the turn of the century. These included both the Treeing Walker Coonhound and the Bluetick Coonhound. They were considered all the same breed. It was the variation in color which separated them. The heavily ticked dogs split off from the English and the Bluetick Coonhound was recognized as a separate breed in 1945. In 1946 the tricolored hounds separated into the breed called Treeing Walker Coonhounds. Though redticked dogs predominate, to this day there are still tri-colored and blueticked English hounds. English Coonhounds are energetic, intelligent and active. Their great senses make them excellent hunters. This breed is extremely fast, hot-trailing competitive type coonhounds. Very devoted to its family, it makes a good companion dog. It does well living indoors and plays a fine guardian to his family and home. They are usually best with older considerate children, but can also do well with younger ones. Some can be a bit dog-aggressive and reserved with strangers. Socialize this breed well while still young. Do not let this breed off the leash in an unsafe area, as they may take off after an interesting scent. They have a strong instinct to tree animals. High-strung but loving and eager to please their owners. They have an average life expectancy of 11-12 years.
