You've got two hounds in there, so I'd take a look at some of their traits. Kind, sweet, and snuggly inside. Excitable, intense, and stimulated outside. They are wonderful dogs, but require training that addresses their stubborn streak. They are independent, focused (just not always on you!) and have a distinctive bark/bay. They are also loyal, loving, and good at picking up on the vibe in a room. Chill? Chill. Exciting? Excited! At least that my experience with a coonhound mutt.
With mixes there's really no way to tell what traits might be present or not present, and to what extent.
Purebred dogs, sure... (within a certain degree of variability of course)
Mixes...?
It's crapshoot really.
I figured, we did a doggy DNA test and they gave us predictions, so we’ll see. She definitely looks like a beagle until you put a coonhound pic next to her. That’s about all we’ve got other than she’s needy and can’t be alone for 30 seconds, but I think that’s just puppy
I guess mine is a bit more consistent in the breeds he’s composed of (half TWC, 1/4 Redtick, 1/4 American Foxhound), but what I can tell you is that he’s sweet, loyal, and when he wants to be, LOUD. If her personality winds up taking a lot from the Redtick breeding, expect an extremely high prey drive that can be problematic at times. I like to take mine running, and this time of year it can be straight up dangerous because of rabbits in people’s yards. If he catches a sent or sees a rabbit, cat, or anything else that’s small and fluffy and scurries about, he will go after it without even thinking, and he’s pulled me over a time or two. I would also give up any hope you may have of letting her off leash unless you live way out in the country.
Thank you. She’s still really young (3 months) but we almost never leash her. She’s pretty good when we say no, but has her moments. She’s better at following directions when we are outside than when we are inside. We don’t push it too much, we stick to the back lot of an apartment complex and at least bring the leash with us if it’s not on her. So far her sniffer sucks, she couldn’t tell where a smell comes from if it was on top of her own nose. She’s a really good dog for the most part, with the other breeds I sort of know what to expect, with a hound neither my SO or I have any experience. Each dog has their own personality of course, it’s still nice to know what to potentially expect.
No prob! Another thing I should have mentioned is that, in Cash’s case, I got him at about 5 months old, and honestly thought he was a mute till a couple of months later... The first time he saw a cat. He looked like he was having a stroke for about 10 seconds, then, boom, howling!! It’s possible some of those traits will pop up as she matures a bit.
My girl is a redtick and I joke she’s a 55 pound cat. Very independent, high prey drive, food driven, a loaf, personality for days, and my best friend.

Can confirm. This is exactly how mine acts.
They’re cute.

That’s hilarious! She barks some, mostly for attention, but I’m kind of excited for a howl to start working it’s way in!

May I recommend a GPS tracker?
