Title: Redbones as pets......
Post by: furbearer365 on April 27, 2009, 06:37:26 PM: I have always wanted a redbone coonhound as a pet. I think they are one of the most beautiful dogs there is. But i don't know anyone in my area that has one just as a pet and was wondering if anyone has experience with them as family dogs and not full time hunters.
