Bluetick Coonhound Information

The Bluetick Coonhound descended from the fast Foxhounds from England with some introduction of the blood of various French Hounds that were used for hunting big game. The French dogs were well known as being very cold nosed.

Breedings in Louisiana of more Foxhounds, Curs, French Hounds and English Coonhounds produced more dogs and hunters feared that bringing in more of the English blood would make the dogs more hot noses. In order to maintain the old-fashioned type they broke away from that in 1945 and established the breed known as the Bluetick Coonhound.

For some time, blueticked pups from a litter could be registered as Bluetick Coonhounds and red ticked puppies became English Coonhounds. Soon the stud books closed and this practice was no longer allowed.

These are very smart dogs who are devoted to their family. Many tend to be dog aggressive and they are very reserved with strangers. Early socialization is very important with the Bluetick Coonhound.

The Bluetick Coonhound is very alert of their surroundings and make incredible home guardians. They have strong hunting instincts and will roam off on a scent if they are allowed off lead in an unconfined area.

The preferred color of the Bluetick Coonhound is a dark blue, thickly mottled body with various shaped black spots. They should stand at 20 to 27 inches tall, males weighing 55 - 80 pounds, females 45 - 65 pounds.
