If you’re looking for Black and Tan Coonhound photos to decide if this is the dog for you, look no further.
In many ways, the Black and Tan Coonhound looks like a typical hound. They can get up to 75lb, making them a fairly large dog, and the color is right there in their name! They have the floppy ears that many people associate with a hound, and people once bred them to hunt raccoons.
The main thing to watch with this breed is that they do something typical of a hound: they howl. If you live in an apartment or a townhouse with neighbors who might be irritated by nose, look elsewhere. Their vocalization is very difficult to train out of them. While dog people may love the howling sound, others may not!
Sweet Dogs
They’re very sweet dogs who will devote themselves to their owners. They’re trainable and eager to impress.
Another thing to watch with them, however, is their prey drive. They may not be the best choice around smaller animals, and introductions should be made very carefully. Never leave a dog showing signs of a prey drive unsupervised with cats or other animals. Even if they seem sweet in the moment, they might be tempted to give chase if the animal runs.
Aside from a slight issue with small animals, they fit well into most families. This is a dog with a truly great nature.
To truly understand this breed you can look at some of these photos of the dog from a puppy right through to a senior dog.
