Coonhound Puppies

These dogs are very intelligent and extremely kind. Great with small children and elderly, with very low tempers. They aren't known for aggression, and love to keep others company for as long as possible.

These dogs can suffer from cherry eye retinal disease, hip and joint problems, retinal issues and cataracts. Like other large chested dogs, they can get heart and stomach issues, and their ears should be checked often for wax build up.

Coonhounds are extremely active dogs- probably acquiring this trait from their British ancestors. They love to have room to run about in, and love large spaces to play and run through.

Coonhounds have nice, smooth fur that doesn't require a lot of constant grooming. They don't need many baths or trips to the groomers, but an occasional bath would be great if they're out hunting.

These dogs don't have any major issues with shedding, so this isn't an issue.

Coonhounds have slender bodies with smooth, sleek fur that is usually tan or black with white splotches or patches.

These American born hounds can have their roots traced all the way back to England. Not only are these pups great for being around other people and animals, but they're very intelligent and aren't hard to train. They get their name for being one of the 6 known AKC breeds that have been used to hunt raccoons in the early days of the American settlers. They're excellent at tracking and treeing the coons up trees so the hunters could get to them easier. They are very faithful companions and hold a lot of loyalty for their masters. Not only have there been numerous stories of coon dogs fighting off attacking animals to protect their hunter, but they also strive to protect other animals in their pack. Having one of these dogs at home would also give you some protection as well as an adorable guard dog that will keep your home safe. These dogs are known to bark at enemies and strangers, but once they warm up to somebody, they become fiercely kind and loyal. These dogs may have a strong background and connection to hunting, but they have large hearts that help them find homes rather easily.
