TROUBLE- Featured Hound!!!

Trouble is a lovely gal who was breed to Robber this past spring and gave us a lovely crew. Their names are Tonic, Tanqueray, Tequilla and Toddy. You can easily spot her as she only has one little brown spot on her right shoulder that goes along with her solid brown right ear. You can find more pictures of her from the Shelford Foot hunt that are posted on the FHC Facebook account.
