She is Chase is crate trained and has a lot of energy easy going and enjoys being with people and and drive, would be a good candidate to be most other dogs. Daisy loves to go for car rides. trained as a working dog like tracking or She sits calmly and watches the scenery as it trailing. He is neutered and up to date on all his passes. She likes to go for walks but tends to pull shots. a little on the leash at first. Daisy sleeps in her crate every night and likes to nap on the sofa (Chase has been adopted by a Mendocino Sheriff’s during the day. She had a resource guarding deputy and is in training as a search dog) issue which is easily managed by feeding her in a separate area from other dogs. She loves to play outside but has to take it easy because of arthritis in her elbows. That is also easily managed with a daily dose of glucosamine as long as she doesn't live with puppies who want to play all the time. The big bonus is, for a bloodhound, she hardly drools at all!
