| Temperment: Not the protypical housedog, The Black and Tan Coonhound, nonetheless, makes an exemplary pet. It is mellow, amiable, calm, and unobtrusive indoors. Outdoors, its strong hunting instincts take over, and it can be difficult, if not impossible, to turn from a track after it starts trailing. As befitting a dog with its heritage, it is strong, independent, and stubborn. It is gentle and tolerant with children, but it may be too independent to satisfy a playful child. It may bay and howl. |
| Origin: United States |
