Black And Tan Coonhound

Born in the USA, the outgoing and friendly Black and Tan Coonhound is a versatile companion who shines in the show ring and field. At home, they’re a superb playmate, jogging or walking companion, and bed warmer.

Because of their strong hunting instinct and specialized skills, however, this breed rarely thought of as a family dog. Apartment dwellers will find it difficult to provide enough room for exercise, and novice dog parents will struggle with the breed’s intensity. Still, for people who admire the hound’s independent nature and sense of humor, they can make an excellent companion, and at home they tend to be laidback, playful, and gentle.
