AROOOOOO! MAKE FOR SHORE! The 2018 Coonhound Calendar is here!

Our Coonhound and Foxhound Companions 2018 wall calendar is ready to order for holiday giving. Delight friends and family with an entire year of companionable hound friends – from Astoria to Wiley. You’ll meet at least one hound each month as the calendar showcases a wonderful variety of long-eared friends in daytime settings, some spectacular – like the clear mountain lake on our cover this year, featuring a pair of well-behaved hounds contentedly riding on a paddleboard.

In January, Hudson, a young redbone with pleading eyes, will pull your heartstrings. 
​

​In February, tricolored English Cora emerges from her local dog park’s Hobbit Habitat.

In March, red-ticked Cooper scratches his back, wiggling on the grass and exposing his belly to the warming sun.

In April, Walker mom Astoria gambols with her pups.
Picture
In May, Walker Maddy May poses with poise in front of posies.

In June, Plott Poppy ponders a wild river over her shoulder.

July showcases Walker Georgia mourning the end of a picnic on the beach.

In August, Hamilton goes for a lake cruise.

September’s Walker Lily gazes at the horizon from the seashore.

October’s mature Walker Jackson suns himself outside his tent on a camping trip.
Picture
Boone sings in the Holiday season, first looking dignified, then howling with joy.

And the year ends with a full set of hounds gathering around a Christmas tree: B&T Otis & friends, Willy, Hope, Homer, Stella, Hank, Susie Q, Pebbles, Buckeye, Fargo, Watson, and Smokey.

The calendars are 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high when closed, and open to 17 inches high. We’ve used heavyweight high quality white glossy paper held together by a refined wire-O binding. Each day’s square is big enough to fill in with personal reminders so your hound can track trips to the vet and play dates with friends.

Calendars are $20 apiece, including postage, shipping and handling. Buy 4 and get the fifth free. Any profits go to support our cause – educating the public that coonhounds make great pets – and supporting homeless hounds with medical needs.

We will be using a new method for distribution this year. Go to Paypal.me/coonhoundcompanions or click on the Paypal link on our Coonhound and Foxhound Companions’ webpage or Facebook page. Or, you can mail a check and note with order info to:

For all orders, please include the number of calendars you want and do the multiplication yourself. You must also include the snail-mail address(es) you want the calendar(s) sent to, and any gift note you want enclosed. Calendars will be mailed from Minnesota..

A big thank you to all those who contributed photos for consideration for this year’s calendar. We left out some really nice pictures. Photos are selected based on multiple factors, including resolution, variety, etc. We welcome submissions for next year’s calendar. In general, we prefer action shots to sleeping dogs. Hunting pictures are welcome as long as they are not gruesome. Indoor pictures are also welcome. However, it’s not easy for night hunting or indoor resolution quality to come up to daylight shots. You can see guidelines here.

Thank you so very much for supporting our work!

What beautiful hounds!! We are so honored that our TWC Lily girl is included in the calendar. A huge thank you to all the coonhound companions for sharing your experiences, insights and knowledge. Lily is our first Coonhound. What a trip she is! I cannot tell you how helpful your blogs have been to us.

What a cool surprise! Ever since adopting one of Astoria's puppies I've followed Coonhound Companions on their social media platforms. So happy for the advocacy work you do for these gorgeous dogs

Astoria's puppies gave me a very happy memory. I went to visit them at 5 weeks and sat in the sun in their kennel for a half hour while they crawled all over me, I was in heaven.

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much for allowing Homer to be one of your Christmas ornaments this year. He crossed over Rainbow Bridge in April after a long battle with cancer. I am sure he has his angel wings and is smiling down on us all. Bless you, this really helps ease the pain of his loss.
