Black And Tan Coonhound

The Black and Tan Coonhound is a breed of dog that originated in the United States.

It is descended from the Bloodhound and was bred to hunt raccoons and other small game.

This hardy breed is known for its strong sense of smell and loud, baying bark.

The Black and Tan Coonhound was developed in the 1700s by hunters in the Appalachian Mountains.

They crossed the Bloodhound with other hounds, such as the Foxhound, to create a breed that could track and tree raccoons.

The breed was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1945.

Today, the Black and Tan Coonhound is still used for hunting, but is also a popular companion dog.

They are loyal, affectionate, and intelligent, making them an ideal family pet.

The Black and Tan Coonhound is an active breed that needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

With proper care and training, this breed can be a loving and devoted companion for many years.
