This is R2. She was my first dog as an adult. She was a bluetick/black & tan coonhound mix. She was a gentle, old soul.
This is Max. He was my second dog, a purebred Bluetick coonhound. He was goofy, but then posed for photos with a haughty air about him.
So you can see why I had to have Kora. In appearance, she is like a short version of the two of them mixed together. Looking in her face for the first time, I saw Max's eyebrows, and R2's eyes. I think she is a dachshund/bluetick mix. The rescue place guessed basset and Australian cattle dog.
Kora is a fearless little dog with great athletic ability. Man, can that dog jump. I have signed us up for a beginning obedience class. We will learn to walk again, together.

And, your bond will be great!
"We will learn to walk again, together." Beautiful. Made me tear up.
Kora is the perfect name for her! I recognize the dachshund in her, she is adorable!
About "We will learn to walk again, together": I have the
same comment as Mama Pea. Hugs!
Its wonderful that you have adopted a dog that needed a home. She sounds like a sweet friend.
My younger son had a Australian cattle dog mix. A very smart dog with a mind of his own. Obedience classes are an excellent idea. Kora will be a wonderful companion. Perhaps after you learn to walk together she will teach you to run again.
I love Max's profile, so elegant. Never heard of a coonhound, is the bluetick referring to the wonderful black/ gray/white coloring? Soon you'll be jumping together!
I'd say the set of her front feet indicate a dachshund somewhere in there. I have a doxie mix myself - you're in for a wild ride as they are so stubborn!
