Dog Breed's Main Info
The Breed's History:
The Black and Tan Coonhound is descended from the Talbot Hound, found in medieval England after the eleventh century. Its ancestry is then traced through the Bloodhound and the Foxhound to the Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound.
In 1945, the Black and Tan Coonhound became the only one of the six varieties of Coonhound to be recognized by the American Kennel Club, in the Hound Group.
The Redbone Coonhound and the Plott Hound have since been recognized in the Miscellaneous Class. The other three varieties of Coonhound are the Bluetick Coonhound, the English Coonhound, and the Treeing Walker Coonhound.
