The off season is puppy season.  Susan Walker’s Longreen Foxhounds have a very cozy whelping box at Susan’s house outside of Memphis, Tennessee.

 Susan Walker, huntsman and joint master, says this of her new litter, “Pups are four weeks old. Having learned to climb into their box with the step, they can now go outside the kennel building and back in climbing on the blocks. Furnace is enjoying her platform of escape.”
