The Black and Tan Coonhound is a breed of hunting dog. It is gentle and tolerant with children, but it may be too independent to satisfy a playful child. They love to find a good scent and follow it, so it’s essential to have a securely fenced yard to keep them from wandering off and going hunting on their own. The Black and Tan Coonhound will be a good watchdog but it is too friendly to be a guard dog.
