Our Experience
Our experience with the Bluetick Coonhound has been nothing but amazing. They are great dogs that have a very amazing talent at problem solving. They have made a great addition to our family and love to play non-stop. They can go on long walks or hikes with you or sit and entertain themselves if staying inside.
​
They love being outdoors. It is a big misunderstanding that they are just for hunting which is far from the truth. They can be some of the best family dogs and pets as well.
​
Due to how smart they are they can be easily trained and can be taught to do many different things.
They also have a coat that allows water to bead off of them instead of soaking into the fur. This is something that we really like as it doesn't give that 'wet dog' smell.

About the Breed
The sleekly beautiful Bluetick Coonhound is a sweet and affectionate charmer who might enjoy snoozing in the shade, but in pursuit of quarry he is relentless, bold, and single-minded. His off-the-charts prey drive must be channeled. Blueticks are speedy and compact nocturnal hunters named for the mottled (or 'ticked') black-and-blue pattern of the glossy coat. A large male can top out at 27 inches and 80 pounds; females are smaller. Blueticks are well-muscled but sleek and racy, never chunky or clumsy. The baying, bawling, and chopping bark of Blueticks might be cacophonous to some, but to coon hunters it's the music of the night. The droopy-eared charm of Blueticks is irresistible. They crave affection and are deeply devoted to those who provide it. Blueticks have tremendous prey drive.
