Coonhound
A Coonhound is a type of hunting dog originally bred to track and tree raccoons and other small game through scenting and trail tracking. They are known for their strong sense of smell, endurance, and vocalizations, such as baying or howling, which alert hunters to their findings. Coonhounds are typically medium to large in size, muscular, and active, requiring regular exercise. They are friendly, loyal, and sociable, making them good companions and family pets when their energetic needs are met. Their alert nature also makes them good watchdogs.
