About the Bluetick Coonhound
The Bluetick Coonhound is a strikingly beautiful American scent hound, prized for its distinctive dark blue, mottled and ticked coat that gives the breed its name. Developed in the Southern United States from French staghounds, English Foxhounds, and other hound breeds, the Bluetick was bred for trailing and treeing raccoons, though it is capable of tracking larger game including bears, cougars, and wild boar. The breed is the state dog of Tennessee, reflecting its deep roots in Southern American hunting culture.
