The Redbone Coonhound is a striking, deep-red hunting hound, bred in the U.S. for treeing raccoons and tracking big game like bear and cougar. These dogs are athletic, determined, and even-tempered, making them great for both the field and family life—as long as they get enough exercise.
Their short, glossy coat is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional brushing, but they do shed moderately, especially in seasonal changes. Redbones are smart and affectionate, but like many scent hounds, they can be independent and easily distracted by smells. They do best with consistent, patient training and plenty of scent-based games or tracking work.
