Unlike organized fox hunting, in the United States it is generally let loose and would tree a hunted animal whereupon the hunter would orient himself to the loud bayings and bag the hunted animal. They possess loud barks. More importantly, American English Coonhounds make for excellent family pets and are wonderful with children.

Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.

Country/Region of Origin: United States

Original purpose: Treeing, Hunting

Name: 'Coonhound' is the shortened form of raccoon hound, referring to one of the animals the hound was bred to hunt.

Historical notes: American English Coonhound dogs are descended from English Foxhounds as well as others from Ireland and France that were brought to the southern United States. They were found to be inadequate in hunting American game because they lose scent once their prey seek shelters in trees like raccoons, cougars, and bears. Treeing dogs, coonhounds such as the American English Coonhounds, were soon developed by adding the sharp-nosed Bloodhound stock.
