A little look at life together.
Getting to know the Redbone Coonhound
The Redbone Coonhound is an American scent hound with a smooth red coat and a working interest in vigorous outdoor activity. Allow for energetic outings as well as rest, and remember that the easy coat does not describe the whole routine.
An everyday routine
Make space for substantial daily activity and short learning sessions. A busy weekend cannot replace a dependable weekday routine.
Coat care to plan for
A relatively straightforward coat still needs routine checks, appropriate brushing, and attention to nails and teeth. Ask a groomer to demonstrate tools that suit this coat.
Before deciding, meet the individual dog and ask about their history, handling preferences, and current routine. Breed tendencies are a starting point, not a promise about personality.
