The Bluetick Coonhound is a breed of dog that is of the Coonhound type. Sometimes called Bluetick, the dog originated in the state of Tennessee in the United States. Selective breeding of Foxhounds, Curs, French Hounds and English Coon hounds produced the breed.
The dog is born and bred to hunt in the wild and their powerful sense of smell can easily distract them from training but they make a surprisingly gentle, playful and easygoing house pet. They are naturally alert and protective, but they can be reserved when it comes to strangers. This dog is a great watchdog as they are calm and always watchful.
