Overview

Ancestors of the Coonhound can be traced back to the 1700’s. It took until the 1800’s for Coonhound to actually be established. This is when Coon hunters wanted a faster, better hound. They decided the Foxhounds weren’t efficient enough, so they were crossed with a Bloodhound and later on with an Irish Hound. They were originally bred for hunting raccoons and were excellent in doing so. This produced a smart, fast and beautiful scent hound with the nose of a Bloodhound.  George Birdsong is who developed this dog in 1840 and most pedigrees can trace back to his stock. The Coonhound was first recognized by the AKC in 2009 and Grouped as Hound.
