The deeply affectionate and loyal Bluetick Coonhound is everything a cartoon hound is, and more. Those long, dangling ears and comical howl are just as endearing in person as they are on TV. The Bluetick Coonhound, named for its ticked, or mottled, pattern of blue, black and grey, can reach up to 69 centimetres in height and weigh up to 37 kilograms. These dogs are nocturnal hunters, bred with strong senses of smell and sight. They need to be entertained with clever games and good exercise to keep them from bounding after exciting scents in the wilderness—but Bluetick Coonhounds are also content sleeping the day away at their owners’ feet.
