Black and Tan Coonhound
A.K.A.: American Black and Tan Coonhound, B&T, Coonhound, Black and Tan, Tan and Black, Black and Tan Hunter
Overview:
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a noble American breed, descended from crosses between Bloodhounds and Foxhounds, primarily developed to track raccoons and other nocturnal game. They are striking dogs, characterized by their sleek, glossy black coats with distinctive tan markings on their muzzle, chest, and legs. Physically, they are strong and athletic, with long, pendulous ears and a soulful expression, embodying the classic hound look. Temperamentally, they are known for being laid-back and affectionate with their families, yet possess an incredible prey drive and the classic "baying" hound voice when on a scent. While generally good with children and other pets, their strong sense of smell and desire to follow a trail means they require a securely fenced yard and consistent leash training. Due to their need for regular exercise and their vocal nature, they are generally not ideal for apartment living. Health-wise, they are a relatively robust breed, but can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as ear infections due to their long ears. Prospective owners should be prepared for their independent spirit and their unwavering love for a good scent.
