My dog is a hound, I am concerned because she is very active and is easily hurt, from jumping or running through the brush. This is the first hound we have had and it was always my impression that they were very tough dogs. Before this we had hunting dogs, pointers and springers they never seemed to get hurt this way and were just as active. Please let me know if you have experience with hounds.

Once I had a Grey Hound dog.It was very favorite to my father.We brothers and sisters were then little boys and girls. Some wicked people killed that dog.From then we never had any pet animal.Yes we had some cows for procuring milk.

I always think they ar efun and cool looking dog, I am having a labrador now and have beenthinking about getting another hound. I always worry about my lab too because he is very active, run, jump, catch and stuff, easily hurt as well, I think we just need to be careful and always keep an eye on them is fine.
