BREED MEET UP: COONHOUNDS & CATTLE DOGS

Every Meet-Up, we explore the rich tapestry of dog breeds, shining a light on their distinct features, the passionate groups that champion them, and the special qualities they bring into our lives. Co-hosted by Helpless Hounds Rescue of Tulsa, OK, this Sunday we’re honoring two unique and fascinating breeds, Coonhounds & Cattle Dogs!

Natural hunters, Coonhounds are hardworking dogs with an amazing sense of smell and a curious, good-natured personality. There are 6 different main types of Coonhounds: the Black and Tan Coonhound, the Bluetick Coonhound, the Redbone Coonhound, the Treeing Walker Coonhound, the English Coonhound and the Plott Hound. These scent hounds are happiest when they have a job to do or somewhere to explore and adventure, yet also have been known to enjoy a good nap!

Cattle Dogs, another working breed, are known for their intelligence, high energy and trainability. There are many types of Cattle Dogs, a few well known being the Australian Cattle Dog, the Australian Shepherd, the Border Collie, the Bearded Collie and the Corgi. These dogs are loyal companions and full of enthusiasm for life! They live by the motto work hard, play hard and are usually seen chasing a tennis ball here at Bar K.

People bringing in Coonhounds or Cattle Dogs can also take advantage of $5 off your first dog entry fee.

Let’s give these hard workers a break and celebrate them at our Meet-Up event!
