from Chewy
The spectacularly-singular song stylings of the Redbone Coonhound (the baying! the howling!) and a “let’s be friends” invitation for everyone they meet (along with a sometimes just a bit naughty need to pursue whatever scent they catch in the air) make this handsome hound a special sort of companion. They run, they hunt, they love their peeps with unmatched devotion—they are a multi-hyphenate who is a scene-stealer when you are out and about. If you are up for the challenge of a speed-racer with a big, loud personality who is also an unapologetic oversized lap dog, and you can hang tough when faced with that famous pleading, hangdog expression, this hound can be your ideal pooch.

The Siberian Husky is a breed of medium-sized working sled dog. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognizable by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings, and is smaller than the similar-looking Alaskan Malamute.
Siberian Huskies originated in Northeast Asia where they are bred by the Chukchi people as well as the Koryak, Yukaghir and Kamchadal people of Siberia for sled pulling and companionship.[2][4] It is an active, energetic, resilient breed, whose ancestors lived in the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic.

BITING
high level, not nips
We are working at it with our trainer. Two products and calming beds all over. Many chew toys, stuffed Kong bones and lots of time outside without me. Does Patrick see me as prey? like an opossum, raccoon or fox? I vote for fox...
