American English Coonhound
The American English Coonhound is a sleek, athletic hunter known for its speed and endurance. Descended from European foxhounds, they are famous for their musical 'bay' and excel at tracking game across varied terrain. While affectionate at home, their high energy and strong prey drive make them best suited for active families with plenty of space.
