Bluetick Coonhound

Bluetick Coonhounds were bred to hunt raccoons at night, which means they have a baying howl that sounds like a siren and absolutely zero interest in being quiet about anything. They’re relentless, stubborn, and will follow a scent trail straight through your backyard fence if given the chance. If you can live with a dog that treats your house like a hunting base camp, you’ll appreciate their loyal, goofy personality.
