Breed: Black and Tan Coonhound mix
Sex: Female
Estimated Birth Date: April 2020
Size: Currently 40 pounds, estimated 50 pounds when full grown
Good with kids: yes. Mia is a little skittish so older children would probably be best. She is also a jumper (we’re working on correcting this behavior) so she might knock over little ones
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: Unknown, she hasn’t been exposed to them
Housetrained: almost! She has had a couple of accidents when she was scared/startled. Will signal at door when she wants to go out
Crate trained: yes. She goes in willingly (loves frozen Kongs filled with peanut butter!) and hasn’t had any accidents in it. She occasionally whines but stops when told “no”
Recommended Environment: Mia is a snuggler and wants to be with her people. Yep, she’s a velcro dog. She also enjoys running and playing so she needs an active family that will keep her busy. She is a smart dog that will need activity. She will not do well with being left alone for long periods of time. She needs patience and safe exposure to new people and noises. We’ve found that treats are effective.
Additional Information: Mia is working on walking and running while on a leash, though she is better with a harness. She is working on her commands. She does NOT like bikes but will get better with repeated exposure.
