I have to admit that I googled Coonhound and that picture came up on Wikipedia - it is of an eight-week old pup. So I put it up on my computer next to the photo of Lucy and kept looking from one to the other [Lucy is absolutely gorgeous BTW!], and apart from Lucy's nose appearing to be a fraction longer, together with different colouring, there really was not that much difference. I used to look at my Little One and try to find what breed was in her background, but she was just a black and tan mutt - and I do the same with Pereg. Another black and tan mutt. Little One with a long, soft, silky coat - Pereg with a short, almost harsh-but-not-quite-coat. But who cares what they came from, not I, that is for sure!
