The Black and Tan Coonhound is a breed of dog used primarily for trailing and treeing raccoons. It was developed from crosses between the Bloodhound and the Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound. The Black and Tan Coonhound runs its game entirely by scent. The breed is also known as American Black and Tan Coonhound. The eyes are hazel to brown, the ears are extremely long, wide, and thin, are set low and far back on the dog's head, and hang well down the neck. Not the prototypical house dog, the Black and Tan Coonhound, nonetheless, makes an exemplary pet. Check out our collection of Black and Tan Coonhound dog names for male or female puppies.
