@miminonoko I feel very satisfied with your answer :) so I don't think I'll do much follow up. I love my goofy girl even more now that I know for sure what kind of hound she is :)

@thatguy94 That sucks. My dog came to me with 12 very worn down teeth, we extracted them a few years ago but her canines remain at risk for horizontal fractures. Our vet implemented a rule, no extreme hard chews. If you can't dent it with your fingernail then it poses a dental fracture risk...

@miminonoko Thank you for this! It was very informative, I wonder if Mars will follow up with this information as well.

@msdelrio She's a cutie! I'm not great with breeds but she does look a little hound like in the face. Might be fun to get a test done :)

@imagebeastmarkbeast I don't know of any besides wisdom panel, it seems to be the most popular on this sub.

@1am3laine I do plan to keep up on dentals until she gets to a point where it may not be safe. I'm very happy with all the blood work and monitoring my vet did to ensure her safety during the procedure and would likely use them again just because of how careful they are.

@forgivenandloved The teeth were not impacted but all shattered with open pulp, which basically gives direct nerve access and a big opening for bacteria. Rather get them out before an infection comes in, especially since my dog just turned 7. She may not be able to tolerate anesthesia or recover...

@hannah97 Yup I live in a hunting state. They are always hounds in the shelters but I think most of them just escape... Every week I see lost dog posts for beagle mixes that have escaped from home :(

@denisovic Yes, she's going to be 5 in March :) I adopted her this past summer so it may have been brighter in her younger years.

@kiterider It all definitely varies based on the severity and symptoms noticed. Some dogs and even breeds are prone to bad teeth and may require annual dentals. Whereas other dogs may be okay with one every few years/as needed. Coming out of anesthesia isn't fun for dogs or humans! I have a...

@ringstar She's 46 pounds :) her length is about 22 inches but I'm not sure on her height.

@jordan_cg Those are budgeted out of my monthly expenses and not his puppy savings :) I will be handling him myself as this is a hobby I want to learn and take part in. I have obtained a local mentor with Afghan Hounds and she will be helping me get introduced to the show world and learn...

@bblack4jc Thank you :)

@francis2 I'm in total awe of his abilities.... If I could get my dog to be in control like that when we are in fields... It'd be a miracle!

@francis2 This looks super cool. Just watched a few mins for now but I'll definitely watch it all tomorrow! Thank you!

@servadac Pretty sure Gin cost me $4,000 in her first year because I went first dog crazy and she was only $100 to adopt 😂. Tbh I have been thinking about a blog or vlog for some time .... But I'd have to give it more thought.

@smc1781 I shall keep it in mind :) I'll have to do some digging and see what foxhound groups are active in my area.

@smc1781 I've had her since July. She had been fostered for a few months and adopted and then returned. I picked her up the same week she was returned and she settled it very nicely. She's a huge coach potato :P she sleeps for 8+ hours a day and is content with 2-3 walks a day. No destructive...

@cordie I have her photo album attached, is it not working?

@cordie Haha thanks :) her color and temperament were the reason I chose her. Right now the same shelter has a male with even stronger lemon coloring! He looks just like her but seems to be a better representation of the breed.
