About the Black and Tan Coonhound
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a large, powerful scent hound bred in the United States specifically for trailing and treeing raccoons. Developed from crosses between the Bloodhound and the Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound, this breed inherits the Bloodhound's extraordinary nose and the Foxhound's stamina and drive. The Black and Tan was the first coonhound breed to be recognized by the AKC in 1945, establishing it as the patriarch of the American coonhound family.
