Coonhound

Coonhounds are a type of scent hound developed in the United States, primarily for hunting raccoons. They are known for their loud, distinctive baying and their relentless pursuit of prey.

These dogs are intelligent, eager to please, and make loyal companions. However, they require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors.

Coonhounds are medium to large-sized dogs with a lean, muscular build. They have long, floppy ears, a deep chest, and a long tail. Their coat is short and dense, providing protection from the elements.

They come in a variety of colors and patterns, including black and tan, redbone, bluetick, and tricolor. Coonhounds are known for their endurance and their ability to track prey over long distances in challenging terrain.
