The Black and Tan Coonhound, is an impressive distinctive looking dog that excels as a hunting companion.
Standing up to 27 inches and weighing between 55 and 75 pounds, these medium-to-large sized dogs have the typical hound features – loose fitting skin, gangly legs, and long hanging ears. As the name suggests the coat is mainly black, with tan markings.
The original Black and Tans were created by crossing Talbot Hounds, Foxhounds, and Bloodhounds. The idea was to create a dog for treeing racoons, but the Black and Tan proved such an able tracker that it was soon being used to hunt larger game, including deer, mountain lions, and even bear.
Besides his value as a working dog, the Black and Tan also makes a great pet for the right owner. They are loyal, good-natured dogs, who bond very strongly with their human pack. They are also intelligent and quick to learn.
They do however need a great deal of exercise and will therefore do best with an active family. Without proper exercise Black and Tans can become destructive and are prone to howling when left alone.
Training, socialization and alpha leadership are a must with this breed. They can be aggressive with other dogs if not properly socialized and are also compulsive trackers who will chase small animals if not leashed.
While they are generally good with people they are not really suited to small children as they may be too boisterous for them.With the right training and sufficient exercise though this is an excellent pet and a wonderful companion.
This is a healthy dog breed with few of the dread diseases that are often found in purebred dogs. Hip displaysia is known to occur, while the long ears are prone to infections and the dog may also suffer eye problems, like cataracts or progressive retinal atrophy.
They also tend to be enthusiastic eaters, so they can become obese if you do not control their food intake.
Grooming is quite easy as the short coat only needs to be brushed once a week. You should also take care to inspect and clean the ears and eyes regularly.
Black and tans are active dogs and not really suited to apartment living. They do best with an active lifestyle and plenty of room to move around. They are a hardy breed and quite capable of staying outdoors in all weathers, although they do prefer being close to their family.
Picking a name for your Black and Tan Coonhound can be a challenge. The best advice is to visit some of the many puppy names, sites online. My recommendation is puppy-names-hq.com, which has a huge database, including thousands of boy dog names.
