About Bluetick Coonhound Dogs

Bluetick Coonhounds are striking scent hounds with a distinctive dark blue, mottled coat and a deep, bawling voice. Originally bred for trailing raccoons and other game, they have one of the most powerful noses in the dog world. At home, they are gentle, affectionate, and surprisingly mellow.

Adopting a Bluetick Coonhound brings a sweet-natured, loyal friend into your family. They are great with children and other dogs, enjoying a good couch session as much as a trail run. Their soulful eyes and musical voice give them endless charm.
