I really wouldn't worry about a breed because you may find a dog that you like in any breed. I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't be color blind. I would look for a dog locally and my advice would be never buy a dog that you can't hunt with. Make sure the dog isn't a fighter, is healthy,and will tree a coon.
Great Advice. i would add that if you can't find what you want for the price you can afford, you'd be better off to just buddy up with a guy whose got a good dog and hunt with him awhile and keep saving your money til you can afford a little more dog. I went through several "affordable" dogs that weren't worth shooting. Then, i finally got smart and waited til I could afford what I wanted. Now I got an awesome dog that I couldn't be happier with. Good luck and happy hunting!
