Ty Brown

The Black and Tan Coonhound, also referred to as the American Black and Tan Coonhound, is an American hunting dog breed. It is suspected that this breed originated when the Bloodhound, the American Foxhound and the English Foxhound were crossed. This dog usually stands between 23 and 27 inches tall, and it usually weighs in between 55 and 75 pounds. They have a dense coat of short hair that is black and tan.

To care for this breed you will need to brush their coat two to three times per week. Also, because they have long floppy ears you will need to check them daily and clean them as needed. This will help to prevent foul odors from developing and to prevent chronic ear problems. This dog requires a lot of space and a lot of exercise. They are not suited for apartment living or being kenneled. To keep this breed from wandering it will need to be socialized and trained as a puppy.
