About the Black and Tan Coonhound
The Black and Tan Coonhound is an American breed developed from crosses of Bloodhounds, Foxhounds, and other hounds to trail and tree raccoons and other game, primarily by scent and at night. Known for its deep, bawling bark, exceptional nose, and easygoing, friendly temperament, it is a determined and persistent hunter that is also a loyal, mellow companion in the home, though it requires significant exercise and has a strong instinct to follow scents.
