The American English Coonhound was originally known as the English Fox and Coonhound. They descended from English Foxhounds as well as other breeds that were brought to the United States from Ireland and France.

These other hounds could not track the scent of game once it seeked shelter in trees, as raccoons, cougars and bears tended to do. The American English Coonhound was created by mixing the other hounds with Bloodhounds to gain a much better sense of smell.

The American English Coonhound is known for its great hunting ability and for great speed and stamina. They are large dogs, males standing at 24 to 26 inches tall and females 23 to 25 inches tall. They have a hard coat consisting of medium length hair. Their colors can be red and white ticked, blue and white ticked, tri colored with ticking, red and white or white and black.

They tend to bay a great deal and would not be the ideal dog if you have neighbors close by and the dog is left unattended to bay. A fenced yard is highly recommended since they tend to wonder off seeking something to hunt.

American English Coonhounds get along wonderfully with children as well as other pets.
