How would Marion’s dogs get on with Ron’s Claude?

It would depend a lot on when and where they meet him. If it was in Louisiana on their home turf, most definitely the males would try to challenge him and get into some rough play-borderline fighting. Thankfully, they’re well trained enough that they listen to Marion’s commands, but there would certainly be high tails and raised hackles from Chancy and Caimon. Lots of sneering and growling and acting tough. Poo-yi would be curious, but avoidant, sniffing and looking in Claude’s direction, but would run from him if he got close. Delilah, of course, would be overly excited and immediately want to entice Claude into play and be a general nuisance. Beau would exchange a few sniffs of snout to bum, might flag his tail, but otherwise be very lazy about the whole interaction before returning to Marion’s side looking for a treat.

Dogs

Marian has a strong affinity for dogs, and grew up with an old Catahoula hunting dog named Beau. 

Throughout her life, dogs have provided a significant source of comfort and calm in especially trying times, and while she does use them for the purpose they were bred for (hunting), they are even more important for keeping her psychologically grounded.

Beau is still alive, but very old, and mostly deaf. He’s a grumpy old fellow now, and his job is to be more of a watch-dog than anything else, barking and howling any time someone steps foot near the house. His hunting days are behind him.

Chanticlair, or “Chancy” is Beau’s son, from a litter with a neighbor’s Catahoula female. Marian made the agreement with the neighbor, knowing Beau would be too old for breeding soon, and wanted to be certain she could keep just one pup from the litter so a part of Beau would go on at her side.

Delilah is a Black Mouth Cur, a stray Marian found in the yard trying to get into the shed where the pelts and drying meats were kept. She was just a pup, and even after checking with neighbors, there was no one to claim her, so naturally ,Marian took her in and started training her up to hunt.

Caimon is another son by Beau, but this time the litter was the unplanned result of a litter with a Bloodhound. The owners of the female were none too pleased with the mutt litter and passed them off to Marian as soon as they were weaned. She kept just the one pup, and found homes for the rest.

Pooyi is another stray Marian found, this time stuck out in the muck of the swamps. She had clearly been stuck there for quite some time, had tattered ears, and cigarette burns that became apparent when Marian got her washed up. Unwilling to go looking for a potentially abusive owner, Marian took her in, but the dog refused to go indoors. She’s a strictly outdoor dog, shy and wary of people except for Marian, and despite her issues has proved to be a very helpful hunter in Marian’s little pack.
