Back to Dog Index JUNIOR
(September 30 1995 - May 2, 1998)
Junior was a blue tick/treeing walker mix coonhound. He was one of a kind.
He died May 2, 1998 of heart failure. Junior was a very entertaining dog. He was always doing something that would make us laugh. When we first got him, we used to keep him tied up. I had a very hard time getting him to listen to me at that time,  he would break his chain often. 
When he was about 3 years old, we moved  to a place that had more property.
when we first let him loose, he would just run and run. (but actually not out of the yard)  after about a week of him running loose, he actually settled down a lot. He would listen to me, come when I called him. Guess what I am trying to point out is, the difference between a dog being tied and a dog running loose. It is not expensive or hard to put cattle fence up or even a strand of electric of fence.  Before we put our fence up all we had was electric fence. Junior respected that. he did not go beyond the electric fence. I would rather see a dog get zapped once or twice than see a dog get hit by a car.
