The black and tan coonhound is considered to be an American breed. Many agree that the breed was likely the result of crossing the bloodhound with the foxhound, and that the coloring of this breed probably comes from the Virginia foxhound, which is also black and tan. In particular, some history suggests that the black and tan coonhound is a descendant of the St. Hubert bloodhound and the Talbot hound. It is believed that the black and tan coonhound was used for hunting animals such as bears and raccoons. The breed's origins can be traced to the somewhat rough landscapes of the Appalachian, Blue Ridge, Ozark and Smoky mountains. Research suggests that in the late 1700s this breed was owned by Indian fighters and scouts..... Find out more about this dog breed.
