Welcome to The Wood Hound, my name is Dena, and I am so excited you are here!

About Me the Dog Mom

Welcome to my home of the hounds!

I am first and foremost a dog mom. All the kids grew up and left me with an empty house so being a mom all my life I had to take care of something and loving my fur babies the way I do it was the perfect choice.

With creating this website it allows me to reach out to those of you that have made a hound dog part of your family as I have, and help all hound lovers by discussing all things hounds. Even though I am a bit partial to Basset Hounds and Treeing Walker Coonhounds, I love all dogs and creating this website gives me the ability to help everyone I can to have healthy, happy, and well-adjusted hounds.

I am a down to earth type of person and I love spending time cuddling with the fur babies, blogging, working in the wood shop, hanging out in the garden and many other projects around our house, I am a nature person and love anything that is all natural.

People think I am crazy for having seven dogs but they are my life. Yes! there is a lot of fur that is shed. I joke with my husband each time that I sweep the floor we have added another dog to the house with the amount of fur that I pick up. Then there is the water on the floor from the basset hound ears, Oh my Gosh another river, and generally in my shoe.

How Did The Wood Hound Get Its Name

So how did I come up with the name The Wood Hound? The love for hound dogs and love of woodworking, thus thewoodhound.com was born.

Let me tell you a funny story we all know basset hounds love to chew on wood correct? Each time we would bring home new wood for a project, we would lay it down on the shop floor and then a few days later, the corners of all the boards would be rounded off. We all know how this happened. Wood Hounds.

Why Did I Create The Wood Hound?

As a lover of hound dogs, and my experience with Basset Hounds and Treeing Walker Coonhounds, and many other dogs I hav shared my life and home with, I started this community to help out hound lovers everywhere learn about hounds and how to keep those hounds healthy, happy and well-adjusted. My hope is that hound lovers everywhere will find my site informative and I would love to help you in raising, maintaining and loving those hounds anyway I can.

My intentions of creating The Wood Hound results in loving to share my knowledge, experience and learning from others about Basset Hounds,Treeing Walker Coonhounds or just hounds in general. Having a website to interact with other hound lovers seems like the perfect fit for me. I am so excited I have been able to create this site for you, my readers, and have so many ideas to go forward.

My intentions of creating this site is to help other hound owners through sharing my experience and continuous learning on the world of hound dogs.  I want to share my love of hounds with you in hope you will share your fur babies with me.

The Goals of The Wood Hound

Through experience and continuous learning about hounds, I want to develop the best hound community out there where hound lovers know they can come find information and also provide information on our loving hounds.

My main goal in creating this website is to truly make this site an interactive community and an authority site for hound lovers to learn and share their expertise with the world of hound lovers. I intend for this to be a fun community and be able to bring hound owners together to provide good information, non-biased reviews and provide not just a website, but a community for the hounds and their owners.

I do enjoy interacting with other hound lovers and I am asking for your ideas and support to make this a wonderful site for us hound owners to come together in raising and enjoying our hounds. I would love for you to share your questions, ideas and expertise on any topics related to hounds in the comments below.

Supporting The Wood Hound Community

Being completely honest and transparent, I want you to know I am dedicated to making this site a truly interactive community and authority site for you the hound lover.  In creating and working on this site, I realize that I need to be able to work on this site full time and hoping to be able to retire in the near future and do just that. I can make my dream a reality with your support of The Wood Hound community. 

You may be asking yourself how you can help, as I know many people do not understand how websites function. The best way to help is by liking and sharing on social media and letting your hound friends know about The Wood Hound. Another great help is visiting the site often and leaving comments or questions on any of the articles you may read. 

How does The Wood Hound make a profit to keep it going? This is another area where you can help support The Wood Hound with no cost to you. You might be familiar with affiliate marketing, if not it is basically companies that pay a small commission to a website anytime someone clicks an affiliate link from a website and purchases an item. I would never ask you to purchase anything you do not want or need or even ask you to  ever buy anything; however, if you see something on this website that you plan to purchase then The Wood Hound would make a small commission with no additional cost to you.

Thanks for reading about me, the dog mom, and I hope you love the community here and appreciate any support to continue to make this a thriving community for hound lovers. Hoping you are ready to help me keep those hounds of the world healthy, happy and well-adjusted.
