Daisy (AKA DITO) has come back due to no fault of her own. She has lived with a senior lady who is moving into a home that does not allow dogs.  Daisy was very attached to her owner and no longer wants to share attention with other dogs since she was so spoiled and loved.  If you are an only dog kind of person, she is an absolute love~

Dito was originally found wondering around on 46A near a bait store.   Dito is such a sweet girl.  She is a VERY easy, low maintenance dog to have around.  She has a very short, soft coat- she always seems so clean and never smells!  She is perfectly house trained and crate trained.  She is very quiet and calm in the house and doesn't chew anything she isn't supposed to. She is such a sweetheart of a dog- she gets very attached to those who she trusts.  She just wants to be right there with you wherever you go. 
 
 
 
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.
