Hi, my name is Lafeyette. I came to the shelter without a lot of information. I'm a very gentle and dignified older gentleman. Like most hounds, I enjoy following my nose. I should do well with supervised children of all ages. I am getting on in years, so I do prefer children who understand how to be gentle. I should do well with a first-time dog owner as long as they do their research about my breed and its typical tendencies. I have lived with other large dogs before and done well. Are you my new forever home?
