I have gotten a Coonhound in as a rescue. She looks exactly like the English Coonhounds that I have seen in pictures on this site. My question is does the English Coonhound always have the ticking in their coats? This hound is just red and white.
They don't always have the red ticking. I've owned this breed with just one red spot on it's side.
We are adopting a 7 yr old red tick from the area shelter, are there any concerns or suggestions about her first days in her new surroundings I should keep in mind?
My fiance and I rescued a dog from the pound last year. We believe that he is a redtick coonhound especially after reading all of the traits and characteristics. I'm pretty sure that he isnt a full blooded redtick but I really have no idea. The pound had all of his papers (the previous owner kept them all and brought them in with him), so we know that he is now 3 years old.
I'm afraid that we dont live in the right environment to raise a dog like him (apartment in a city). But we were afraid that he would be put to sleep if we didnt take him. He gets at least two long walks/runs a day when we allow him to "hunt" and sniff and do all the dog things he wants to do. He seems agressive towards dogs and doesnt heel very well. Is there a book or video that you recommend to help with his training? He has impvoved over the last year and we want to continue to help him. Sorry for the long question.
We have a Redtick Coonhound that we got from the shelter. He wasn't leash trained when we got him. I recommend getting the Halti lead trainer. It works great and keeps them from pulling. Once they get the command down you can start to slowly wing them off it.
we have our first coonhound.... We need to send his papers in but we are not sure what we should mark on his color???? I also have another question after searching for pictures to send our papers in. Our dog does not have a solid black nose does this mean he is not full blooded???
The marbled nose doesn't necessarily mean he's not full blooded, but it's definitely a flaw in the breed, and not a desirable trait to be bred.
I would register as a redtick/bluetick. Hope this helps.
How does the redtick Coonhound act around the age 7 or 8 still very energetic or more laid back? Thanks!
My 7 yr old is absolutely awesome. Totally content to run for miles in the wilderness, but also totally content to lie in the sun for hours on end. I make a point to give him a few days a week to have an adventure, but that's all he needs.
more laid back but will still keep up or out run most 2-3 yr old dogs.
when on the trail and will always be first at tree
