Redbone Coonhound Puppies

The Redbone Coonhound is a breed with deep roots in American history, known for its incredible hunting abilities and warm personality. Originally developed for tracking and treeing game, these medium-sized dogs have become beloved family companions thanks to their affectionate nature. They thrive in an environment where they can bond closely with their families, making them particularly well-suited for households with children. Their playful demeanor and social tendencies shine through, although they may be less compatible with cats.

Breeding of the Redbone Coonhound commenced in the late 18th century. European hunting dogs were imported into America from Scotland, France, Ireland, and England. These regions played a vital role in the ancestral lineage of the Redbone Coonhound.

Dogs like the Bloodhound, Beagle, Welsh hound, English Foxhound and Harrier were among these. Sometimes, these dogs were used for Foxhunting. Later on, selective breeding was done by Southerners to create dogs that possessed high levels of stamina, that could hound their prey tirelessly and unhindered till they were cornered.

The red-colored foxhounds imported by Scottish immigrants formed the pivotal base of the breeding of Redbones. Afterward, in 1840 an addition was made to the bloodline through Irish-bred Bloodhound and Foxhound.

After some time, selective breeding was done to create a breed that could face the obstacle of climbing to hunt small and larger prey. This selective breeding led to the creation of the Coonhound bloodline.

The Redbone Coonhound has a very strong will to please its master. They’re very gentle and full of affection; However, they can be very distinct with their loud “drawling barks.” This “drawling bark” is usually referred to as a Bay.

Puppies and adolescents are often very active. In the absence of physical training or activity, they tend to Snoop around trash cans, destroy furniture and shoes by chewing them. The Redbone Coonhound can be stubborn and sensitive at the same time, so it’s important to avoid treating them harshly during training. Once they’ve reached their full potential, they can easily jump into a pool of water to play with children.

The ideal environment for training a Coonhound should be in a fenced area, this prevents the hound from wandering off and getting lost. The Suburbs or country is a convenient environment for the development of Coonhounds. Urban settings usually pose more obstacles, but that can be compensated for through regular daily exercise.

The Redbone Coonhound needs a daily exercise regimen of walking for an hour or an hour and a half. Swimming is also a good exercise regimen. The bulk of their exercise regimen comes from hunting for prey, However, great care should be taken to prevent the dog from wandering far from its master, as they are often adept to the pursuit of prey and seldom fail to heed the calls of its master.

The Redbone Coonhound has a unique hound odor. They’re required to take baths regularly to lockdown this unique odor. Regular grooming like brushing their short smooth coats weekly is required. They don’t shed a lot, so this is a plus for its owner. They have long ears, so an owner must ensure that areas “in and around” the ears are cleaned properly. Owners must endeavor to groom their nails to prevent tears and splitting.
