Meet Ryder, a Redbone Coonhound x Bloodhound male that is estimated to be around 3-5 years old. Ryder was found wandering as a stray in NC and then ended up at the shelter. How this sweet dog-friendly boy wasn't reclaimed or at least adopted out before he found himself on "the list" is beyond me.
Ryder is the dog you get for a hiking, camping or jogging partner. He is the Forrest Gump of the dog world... He just likes running. He is very ATHLETIC! He's thin and trim but don't let that fool you... This guys all muscle.
Ryder has learned to heel on lead and does not pull when he is on a leash. He has a basic obedience foundation, although I will say he does have a stubborn streak at times, afterall he's a hound.
Ryders only downfall was having impusle control issues when it came to food. He has improved tremendously in his time at the trainers. He now knows he must sit and stay (a reasonable distanve away) until given the release command to let him know he can come eat. This is something that anyone who considers adopting him will need to continue in his forever home. However even with his improvement he will need to go to a home without young children.
With Ryder being the picture perfect definition of a hound, he will need to go to a experienced hound savy home. He's not a bad boy at all, in fact he's a very good boy. However he's a big boy and a lot of dog in general. He needs someone active who wants a exercise/adventure partner. He is not a dog that will be happy long term with 1-2 short walks a day or a quick session at the dog park.
He's a hound and they tend to have high prey drive .. Ryder is no exception. Unfortunately, this means that not all hounds are good with cats or other small critters like rabbits, for instance. Ryder's home should be free of cats or small pets.
Ryder has been great with other dogs and loves people. He's house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. He loves to cuddle, and he loves car rides.
Training Update:
Ryder is doing great in board and train and so far hasn't shown any of the previously seen food aggression. I’ve not had ANY issues with him biting over resources. He now walks back sits and waits for me to release him to eat. Backs away from food and sits and waits. I’ve taken things from him. I’ve messed with the dish while he ate. I’ve not any any bite concerns from him."
