Description

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a fast, fearless, and vocal scenthound, developed in the United States to track and tree game, especially in dense forests and rugged terrain. Known for their distinctive brindle coats, sharp instincts, and love of the hunt, these dogs are focused workers and affectionate with their families.

Their short, smooth coat is easy to care for, with moderate shedding, particularly during seasonal transitions. These hounds are intelligent and energetic, thriving on scent work, hunting activities, and mental enrichment. While trainable, they require patience and consistency, especially for recall and off-leash reliability.
