"Is that a Coonhound?"

[Kfamr]

Amy was the first person to ever say Ki was a Coonhound, and I agree, she looks SO much like a Black & Tan. NEVER have I had anyone -in person- ask me if she was a Coonhound until I came up north! Not even many people knew what a Coonhound was when I told them that could be what she is.

Between the "Dang, that's a great looking dog" and "I love her eyebrows" comments, I have recieved several comments as to wether or not she's a Coonhound.


Anyways, not so much point to this thread so I'll add a picture. (Any excuse to post a picture, eh?) Kiara in her new bed and one of her new collars. Yes, I spent my vacation going to pet stores. :p

Ki, look at you, you sure are getting a lot of neat stuff. I love her collar, looks great on her.

I know what Ki is, she's a lovely lady. :p

[shihtzulover850]

Not sure that it would have been my first guess, but I can see similar colorations, especially in the chest/legs? But, her ears/face sorta remind me of lab. Yet, she is very skinny. I don't think that is typical of either breed?? I suppose it's possible.

Whatever you are Ki, you're beautiful. She really could be anything.

Oh and the pet store thing....that's exactly what I spent all my money on when I went down to florida/utah ;)

[finn's mom]

She was an adorable puppy and has become a gorgeous dog! I would never have guessed Black and Tan Coonhound, but, whatever she is, she's perfect. ;)

[Ginger's Mom]

What a great picture of a beautiful girl! I think that is a great way to spend a vacation. And it looks like Kiara thinks it is a pretty good idea too. ;)

Did I tell you that a couple of months ago a dog started coming to our dog park that looks a lot like Kiara. When I asked her Mom what breed/mix she is her Mom said all she knows is that the shelter said she is part coonhound. And the funny part is her name is Kara, so when she first came I had to ask the girl twice what she was calling the dog. It was very eerie.

[lute]

she does look a bit like a black and tan coonhound in the face.


Yes, I spent my vacation going to pet stores.
that's my kinda vacation! :D

[luvofallhorses]

I don't see black and tan coonhound, she looks more rottie to me. :) Whatever she is, she's pretty. :)

[caseysmom]

To me her snout is too slender to be a coonhound or a rottie, but maybe that comes from what she is mixed with.

She is 100 percent cute thats for sure.

Hi i love dogs! :rolleyes:

[buttercup132]

Hi i love dogs! :rolleyes::confused:

Anyways, Are you saying she is pure Coonhound or a mix?
Cause dont Coonhounds have long ears.

[luvofallhorses]

Cause dont Coonhounds have long ears.

yes, they do. ;)

Buster is a coonhound and he has long ears. maybe not every coonhound has long ears, but the majority of them do.. she also could be a dobie mix if not rottie?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

She does look kind of Coonhound like but she is lacking the ears and the jowls, maybe she's mixed with Doberman or Lab too. Who knows, she sure is gorgeous though. Her collar looks great on her! That's how I spend my vacations too...lol.

[IRescue452]

Oh boy, that would be an expensive vacation for me! I don't see any coonhound. I see a racy rottie. We've got a pure rottie at the kennel right now, with a full tail so of course everybody thinks he's a mix.

[wolf_Q]

My co-worker had a black and tan coonhound (possibly a mix, she was in a litter of pups that a coonhound breeder dropped off at the shelter) and trust me there's a definite resemblence. I'd guess you would have had to have met Pookie to believe it. Kiara's definitely a mix but I still really think she has black and tan coonhound in her. Whatever she is, she's cute! :D

[IRescue452]

I think the points of her ears would be more level with her eyes and she'd have a domed skull if she had coonhound in her.

Just because a dog has a certain breed in them doesn't mean they are going to have the skeletal structure of that breed they may just have the markings or even behavioral traits of that breed.

[k9krazee]

Wow! I was just looking on Dogster at Blk and Tan Coonhound mixes and came across this guy!

Look at the markings, same white spottley chest and all!

Yes, of course I mean a mix.
She doesn't need every single characteristic of them to be a mix. I do believe she has some coonhound in her, wether it be 75% or .2%

Her bark especially reminds me of a hound - that's what one of the people told me as well. She has a funny bark. :p

Since I see her everyday :p I think she looks more like a coonhound than any of the other guesses I've heard.

Wow! Until this thread I really never realized it. But it's true she does probably have some coon hound.

[zoomer]

Hmmm well she doesn't look like she has coonhound in her to me. But whatever she is, she is one pretty girl!

[Cataholic]

Having just spent a few hours with Kiara, Kay and her father this afternoon, I am all for the coon hound! While she does have rottie colouring, so do some dauschunds I have seen! Ki looks like a rottie about as much as a doxie does. And that bark? Sheesh....it is a silly one. Ki thought Jonah moved a mite too fast sometimes I think. :D
