Our Coonhound babies are raised in our home and are well socialised by the time they leave the nest. Contrary to what some people believe Coonhounds are not noisy howling dogs, they have quite a distinct bark but will usually only bark when warning of something amiss. They do not usually drool and slobber like some hounds and only require minimal grooming and with correct care the ears are never a problem.

The B & T's are a laid-back type of hound that thrives on being part of the family. They are not a quarrelsome dog and can live quite happily alongside other family pets including cats. They are good with children being very gentle but playful. B & T’s are a medium-large dog and can adapt to living inside or outside. The average lifespan is 10 to 12 years of age.
