About the Breed
The Black and Tan Coonhound was bred to hunt raccoon but are also widely used for hunting bear and cougar. In 1945, the Black & Tan became the only one of the six sub-species of Coonhound to be recognized in the Hound Group by the American Kennel Club. The Redbone Coonhound[?] and the Plott Hound[?] have since been recognized in the Miscellaneous Class. The other three sub-species of Coonhound are the Bluetick Coonhound[?], the English Coonhound[?], and the Treeing Walker Coonhound[?].
The breed standard for Black & Tan Coonhouds are as follows:
