Arrival Story:
Dodger was found on the side of the road at 6 weeks of age. Although the pound wanted to come and collect him that same day they allowed me to keep until the owners came forward. Of course that never happened and Dodger never left!!

Bio:
Dodger is NOT a typical American Foxhound. He doesn't bay unless he's hunting, he has excellent recall and loves to retrieve. However, even though he has never been trained or encouraged to hunt he has managed to sniff out any resident foxes and has a good chase! He likes to pull grass up from the roots, loves winter and especially snowballs and hates the warmer weather. He loves cats - especially his snuggle - buddy Minnow and loves to play "tag" with her.

Forums Motto:
