| RESCUE:Singing Blues: Bluetick Rescue |
BREED: Bluetick Coonhound
|
|
|
Breed Description:
Bluetick Coonhounds are wonderful dogs who are easily distinguished from most other coonhound breeds by their appearance. They have a short, dense coat consisting of unique black and white speckling, ticking, that produces a blue color. Most have tan coloring on their face, chest, and legs. Large black patches on the head and ears are common.
Blueticks make wonderful companions and generally become very devoted to their family. Most get along well with other dogs, but some have hunting instincts that may make them unsuitable for life with cats or other small animals.
While Blueticks make wonderful pets, they are not for every dog owner. Bluetick, cannot be trusted off-leash. Once they find a trail, they will wander off. Blueticks shed and some may drool, so they are not the breed for people overly focused on neatness.

Details about "DO YOU ACCEPT" responses:
Singing Blues is the only Bluetick Coonhound rescue in the state of Wisconsin. The unfortunately truth is that there is a greater need than we have foster openings. In addition, Coonhounds tend to spend a longer time in rescue than many other breeds. As such, Singing Blues has made the decision to give priority to healthy, purebred Bluetick Coonhounds. If foster space is available, dogs with treatable medical conditions might be considered.
