Description

Black and Tan Coonhound

The Black and Tan Coonhound is one of the few breeds around that can claim the title of All-American. Although the exact origins are unknown it is probable that many of the European hunting hounds went into the basic makeup of the early coonhounds, including Bloodhounds and Foxhounds of the time, and possibly the Kerry Beagle and the French Bleu Gascogne hounds. At any rate the evolution and development of the Black and Tan took place here in America and by the turn of the century the breed was here to stay. The first Black and Tans were registered with the United Kennel Club in 1912, the American Kennel Club followed in 1945.
