There
are different categories of hunting hounds, the sight hounds
(hunt by sight), and scent hounds (hunt by scent). Some hunting
dogs are good for working either on water or on land and some
work on both. Dogs were able to provide men with food, clothing,
and even helped out to build their rudimentary houses. Dogs were
men’s best friend. I imagine, back then, the bonding between men
and dogs was special since dogs helped you out on nearly
everything. Nowadays we go to work and leave our dogs behind. We
see them after we come back from work and we are so exhausted
their wagging tales make us dizzy. Some of the popular hunting
hounds’ breeds are English coonhound, Plott Coonhound, Redbone,
Treeing Walker, Bluetick, Leopard Curs, Beagle, Bloodhound, etc.
Hunting dogs can get sick from rabbit and bird droppings. They
can pick up avian flu. Hunting dogs are more at risk of
contracting some severe illnesses since they are left alone
wondering. Some of the
symptoms of
avian flu are difficulty breathing, coughing,
fever,
and difficulty walking. Chances are your dog will die if he/she
is not taken to the Vet immediately after you suspect he has the
flu.
