The Black & Tan Coonhound is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a large breed, typically weighing 25–34 kg as an adult. Developed in the United States to track and tree raccoons, this scent hound combines a powerful nose with a deep, distinctive bay, and is generally easygoing and affectionate once away from the hunt.

What this means for your Black & Tan Coonhound

The breed's long, pendulous ears are prone to trapping moisture and debris, so regular ear checks help prevent infections as your Coonhound ages. Hip dysplasia is also seen given the breed's size.

Like other deep-chested hounds, Black & Tan Coonhounds are at increased risk of bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus) — knowing the warning signs and seeking emergency care immediately can be lifesaving.

When is a Black & Tan Coonhound considered a senior?

Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, large breeds like the Black & Tan Coonhound are generally considered senior from around 5 dog years old.
