Description

The Bluetick Coonhound is a medium-sized breed known for its distinctive bluetick coat and soulful eyes. Originally bred for hunting raccoons, they are now popular family companions. Their keen sense of smell and endurance make them skilled hunters. Despite their size, they are often gentle and affectionate with their families. However, their strong prey drive and loud baying can be challenging for some owners. Early socialization and training are essential to ensure they are well-behaved and friendly.
