Black and Tan Coonhound
Pride from Bellowood
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a strong and powerful hound used to track and tree raccoon, but known also to successfully track bear and mountain lion. They track entirely by scent. These coonhounds are friendly and good with children (probably better with older children), and other dogs. The best owner may be an owner that hunts, and is able to exercise the dog in its natural habits. Although, they do make good pets – funny, loving and clumsy. While shorthaired they do shed and should be brushed several times a week. Remember, they are natural hunters so don’t let them roam unsupervised or unconfined until they are fully trained to respond to your commands. Oh ya, you gotta like slobber.
