ABE - NOT JUST A HOUND..... BUT HISTORY!

B&Ts TYPICALLY MAKE VERY GOOD HOUSEPETS. -wiki

The black & tan coonhound was officially recognized as a breed in 1945.

  

George Washington received Gascon-type hounds as a gift from the Marquis de Lafayette after the Revolution 

and it is almost certain that others made their way to our shores. 

The likely addition of the Bloodhound to these hounds resulted in the Black & Tan Coonhound, 

also referred to in some texts as the “Old Virginia Black & Tan.”

 

About 7 years old.

Meet Abe, a classic hound with a heart of gold.
Abe is a seven year old male Black & Tan Hound weighing fifty pounds with a calm, steady presence that makes him easy to love. He is dog friendly and enjoys the simple things like leisurely walks, good smells, and relaxing near his people. Abe is heartworm positive, but treatment is manageable and our staff can talk you through what that looks like. He would do best in a home that appreciates a laid back companion and understands that a little extra care is worth it for a dog as sweet and loyal as Abe.
