American English Coonhound
The American English Coonhound evolved when
descendants of English Foxhounds, known in the
New World as Virginia Hounds, were bred to adapt
to rougher terrain. Originally these hounds were
used to hunt fox by day and coon by night and were
named the English Fox and Coonhound.
The Treeing Walker and the Bluetick were also
called English Coonhounds at one time, but in 1945
their breeders declared them separate breeds.
Through selective breeding, today’s English is the
epitome of a swift, hot-trailing, competitive coonhound.
The impatient English is a super-charged
hunter that is wide-ranging and possesses tremendous
speed and excellent voice.
