Congratulations, Chaplain and newly extended family! We adopted a Pound Hound ourselves nearly three years ago, 60 pounds of Chance, as mixed a breed as could be. Her coloring resembles a Doberman/shepherd/Rottweiler, but she is shaped more like a foxhound or giant beagle, and she has houndy spots on her chest. I don't know what is in her pedigree, but whatever it is, it hates the water; she goes around puddles and tiptoes over wet grass, with an "ewww, Mom!" expression on her face. She also gives a good howl when we encourage her by howling ourselves, an activity entered into enthusiastically and often by all of us. She came with us on our recent cross-country, and travelled very well in the MoHo. Best wishes to you and yours!
