We have 4 Redbone Coonhounds...there nose would get them in trouble if they were not on a leash. One of the 3 month old pups...Trump...second he hits the outdoors his nose is on the ground and he is GONE. Pretty sure, with a bit of work, Daisy could go off leash...as long as Ernie is near. Daisy has SEVERE seperation anxieties when it comes to Ernie. We were going to pick up the pups in Montana. Stopped at a rest stop, Ernie took Daisy for a stroll. Handed me the leadh so she could go use the restroom...Daisy literally starting trembling, wimpering out of control. Once she seen Ernie I couldn't contain her...
