The Black and Tan Coonhound is a
breed of dog bred to hunt raccoon. They
are also widely used for hunting bear and cougar.
Appearance
The breed standard for Black & Tan Coonhounds is as follows:
- Eyes are
hazel to brown
- Ears extend past the tip of the nose
- Their black and tan markings are similar to the Doberman
Pinscher and the
Rottweiler but have key distinguishing differences from these breeds.
The most prominent are the long tails and ears, and their loud, baying bark.
- 23 to 27 inches (58 to 68 cm) at the shoulder
- 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) head (back of skull to tip of nose)
- 65 to 100 (29 to 45 kg) pounds
- Males are typically larger and heavier boned than females.
History
In 1945, the Black & Tan became the only one of the six varieties of Coonhound
to be recognized in the Hound
Group by the American Kennel Club. The
Redbone Coonhound and the Plott
Hound have since been recognized in the Miscellaneous Class. The other three
varieties of Coonhound are the
Bluetick Coonhound, the English Coonhound, and the
Treeing Walker Coonhound.
