Black and Tan Coonhound Information
Derived from Bloodhounds and Foxhounds, the Black and Tan Coonhound is a rugged, smart, friendly breed. With its keen sense of small, the dog is great on the trail and can stay active for hours. On the flip side, they are also mellow and easy going, and don’t mind spending lots of time on the couch.
Like their name implies, the breed is black and tan in color with “pumpkin seed” markings right above their eyes. Caring for these pups is pretty low maintenance and training is easier for this breed than others. Overall, an excellent choice!
All dogs have their own personality and unique training, causing them to differ slightly from these breed stats. However, please let us know if we made an error in the stats, we appreciate your help!
