Aideen was obviously a house pup. The spayed 18-month-old has the perfect manners that everyone who longs for an easy-to-live-with companion wants. She’s housebroken, walks beautifully on a leash, is fastidiously tidy, calm and very quiet. Aideen’s quiet, self-contained nature is worth mentioning because the beautiful, shiny-like-a-new-copper-penny pup looks as if she has some Coonhound relatives.

Because they’ve been bred and trained to loudly lead their owners, sometimes people forget what loyal, loving and easy-going dogs hounds are. Anyone who’s read the book or watched the movie “Where the Red Fern Grows” knows what these amazing pets really are like.

Someone who is touched by Aideen’s soulful, intelligent eyes could look for the book. Or they could come personally experience this wonderful companion’s unforgettable adoration.
