Aw! We got a walker hound/ Bassett mix a year and a half ago. He is taller like a walker hound but his ears are so much bigger 😂 he loves playing in the field with "his donkeys" (they're my mother in law's, but Waylon loves them) we try to familiarize him with guns/noises, but so far they do seem to just make him anxious. The mother (walker hound) does go coon hunting with other dogs the people we got ours from, so we think we could train him if we really wanted - but for now he's just trained in the basics for treats ☺️
