“Dog Breed of the Week: Redbone Coonhound” plus 1 more |
| Dog Breed of the Week: Redbone Coonhound Posted: 19 Jan 2011 12:26 PM PST  The Redbone Coonhound is yet another new AKC breed that will make it's Westminster Dog Show debut this February. The beautiful Redbone Coonhound is a mild-mannered yet energetic hound with a friendly and loyal disposition. Easily recognized for its brilliant red color, this hard working hound is well-suited to both hunting and companionship. Like many breeds, the Redbone is not for everyone. The most important thing for this breed is to live in a active household. The Redbone needs exercise, and plenty of it. Without it, he'll quickly get bored. The next thing you know, that lovely song-like bay of his might start to get annoying (to you and your neighbors). Worse yet, he might try to escape and wander off to follow a scent. In fact, the Redbone is so keen to follow scents that he cannot be trusted off leash unless you have a fenced-in area. The drive to hunt is simply hard-wired into these dogs, so they can hardly resist. Once you understand the Redbone Coonhound, you'll probably come to realize what an absolutely wonderful breed it is. If you have an active lifestyle and are looking for a medium to large dog that can be a hard worker and excellent companion, the Redbone might just be the one. Do you think this beautiful red hound could be a good fit for your household? Learn all about the Redbone Coonhound and decide for yourself. If you have had experience with this wonderful dog breed, please share your story: talk about your Redbone!
