American English Coonhound - American English Coonhound Puppies

American English Coonhound


The American English Coonhound, a new member of the AKC Miscellaneous Dog Group, is also sometimes referred to as the "Redtick Coonhound".



Like many of the other coonhound dog breeds, you can especially find these bred in the southern United States quite often and this is where this dog breed originally came from.

So just what do coonhounds like the Redtick like to do best? Hunt, hunt, hunt. These dogs are born hunters and love nothing better than to trail and tree small animals - especially raccoons. So if you think you might want one of these dogs really consider all your options because these dogs are not for the novice pet owner or the average couch potato.

Watch one of these guys in action



Coonhounds like the Redtick dog breed are high energy dogs, intelligent, playful, active and normally very sociable - in fact they love and thrive on human attention and companionship. But they can also be quite stubborn, they love to lounge around on your furniture and they do have that long drawn out melodious howl that can often be very loud.

The Redtick Coonhound is well known for their characteristic short and hard coat and their red "ticking" pattern but there are a variety of other colorations possible such as tricolored, bluetick and also tricolored with ticking however the red markings are predominant.

Country of origin: United States
Lifespan: 10-11 years
Colors: Redtick, bluetick, tricolored and tricolored with ticking
Known health problems: Hip dysplasia
