That spot between his eyes is a ridge of fur (like a ridgeback would have on his back). It's pretty cute! Hounds are even-tempered and get along well with people and other dogs. They are energetic and love to nest and cuddle. Getting a hound out of bed, off a couch or away from a fireplace will be a feat in itself. They love to sleep after a long day and are the perfect companion dogs for watching television. They are easy to train and make excellent pets if well exercised. Get acquainted with this dog off leash in one of our family run areas. Most dogs will need to run off some energy before they settle down and get acquainted with you. Thanks!
