Black and Tan Coonhound Dog Breed
The Black and Tan Coonhound is used principally for
trailing and treeing raccoon. The Black and Tan Coonhound runs his game entirely
by scent. The courage of the Coonhound also make him proficient on the hunt for
deer, bear, mountain lion and other big game, though fewer & fewer states permit
hunting antlered animals with dogs. The general impression is that of power,
agility and alertness, with the ability to cover ground swiftly with powerful
rhythmic strides. Each hound has its own distinctive voice and are often
recognizable to the owners from great distance.
