Lucas is quite active and would enjoy someone who will be active with him. He came to us as a senior boy, suspected of being about 11 or 12. We feel like he is about 7 or 8 at the most. Lucas has a gray face, but we believe it is premature graying, I for one, know how that is! Lucas loves to play fetch(surprisingly, he brings toys back to you!) and go to the dog park, run through the woods catching all the new sniffs and meeting new friends. Lucas is such a loving Basset/Beagle mix hound. He has the best of both breeds for certain! Lucas loves to be rocked and also loves to sleep with you. He is a snuggler of the highest caliber. He came to us with no name, but is learning his name. Lucas would love a family of his own, so he can have his own spot in bed with his people. While I have not observed him around children, his personality is such that I believe he would do great with them. Are you ready for a very loving hound of your own? Think about Lucas! 3/3/10 I added a picture that includes Blue, another of the Bounders! So the picture with 2 dogs has Lucas on the left and Blue on the right. :-)
