Introducing the Long Ear League

Click to get to the start-up kit and web page.
Coonhound Companions (and Foxhound Companions) have now posted helpful hints for starting a Long Ear League chapter. These tips can be found on our website for free download. Just click on our logo, left, to get started. Our web page includes a start-up kit with art for signs, posters, business cards, and a link to a store with logo t-shirts and other gear, and lots of links to outside coonhound information.

Long Ear League is a new idea from Coonhound Companions. We hope to encourage the formation of meet-up groups for owners of pet coonhounds and foxhounds that will enable coonhound people to meet each other and have social events with each other, both with and without the presence of their pet coonhounds.

Getting together with other hound owners and their dogs is great fun. Most hounds are sociable with dogs and people, and interact well with each other and with children. Meeting other hound owners will help you compare experiences and learn about training ideas, fun activities, and quirks of the breed from each other. And no one appreciates how gaga you get over your long-eared companion than another pet hound owner!  What could be more enjoyable than a group of sociable coonhounds singing their hearts out?

Coonhound Companions (including Foxhound Companions) is an advocacy group educating the general public about coonhounds and foxhounds, with the aim of helping long-eared hounds in shelters find adoptive homes more quickly. Coonhounds and foxhounds are bred primarily as hunting dogs.  Since they also make great pets, those that lose their hunting homes are often stranded in shelters and rescues for lack of interest. We want Long Ear League chapters to be mostly fun, but we also hope that gatherings of pet coonhound owners will attract public attention to the full range of potential for these lovable long-eared dogs.
