Black and Tan Coonhound
Temperament:
A quick-to-follow, intelligent, loyal and
good-natured hunter and companion, the Black and Tan Coonhound pleases hunter
and owner alike. The Black and Tan is an alert and eager dog who is very
dedicated to his work. Some sources say this passionate worker is a bit
aggressive, but will listen to his master. Other sources say he is gentle and
friendly with people. Some individuals are protective and are a bit reserved
with strangers. They are usually best with older considerate children. Sometimes
they can play rough. This dog can be willful, requiring firm, patient and
on-going training. They may howl if they are left alone too much. Do not let
this breed off the leash in an unsafe area, as they may take off after an
interesting scent. Some Black and Tan tend to be aggressive with other strange
dogs. There are two types of Black and Tan Coonhounds: show and field. The show
types are a bit larger and maybe somewhat less energetic and work oriented, and
therefore tend to make better pets. This breed drools and slobbers.
