Breed Info

Bluetick

Country of Origin

The Blue Tick Coonhound is thought to have been bred in Louisiana from the English Foxhound, Cur, and Bleu Gascogne French hound. It was bred to ‘tree’ raccoons and other prey, which means to track them as they flee through the treetops and pursue. Stringfellow Hawke, the main character of television show ‘Airwolf’ had a pet Blue Tick Coonhound named ‘Tet’ who was a popular character. The Blue Tick Coonhound is the state dog of Tennessee, and a Blue Tick Coonhound named Smokey serves as the University of Tennessee mascot. Blue Tick Coonhounds are also the subject of Neil Young’s song ‘Old King’, Charlie Daniels’ ‘Long Haired Country Boy’, and Blake Shelton’s hit song ‘Ol Red’, in which a convict successfully uses a female Blue Tick Coonhound to seduce the warden’s Bloodhound during his escape from prison.

Size

The Blue Tick Coonhound has a shoulder height of 51-69 cm (20-27 in) and weighs 20-36 kg (45-80 lbs). Blue Tick Coonhounds are lithe and muscular in appearance, with head and tail carried high. They have a large, rounded head with pronounced stop (depression where the muzzle meets the forehead), low-set ears, square muzzle, and large upper lips (‘flews’). The Blue Tick Coonhound has an arched, muscular neck, sloped back, deep chest, and round ‘cat feet’ with unusually large paws. There is a subgroup of the Blue Tick Coonhound known as the American Blue Gascon (or sometimes ‘old fashioned Blue Tick Coonhound’) which is larger, heavier, and more hound-like in appearance.

Coat

The Blue Tick Coonhound has a short, slightly coarse, glossy coat. Its distinctive navy blue coat comes from black and white mottling. Black markings on the head and ears are permissible; black is also allowable on the body but dark blue should predominate. The Blue Tick Coonhound may have tan dots on the forehead and cheeks and/or dark red on the chest, lower legs, and feet.

Character

The Blue Tick Coonhound is loyal and intelligent. It has a variety of barks for different situations and makes an excellent watchdog. Blue Tick Coonhounds are good problem solvers who should not be restrained to a small house or yard. They bark frequently and tend to drool, especially when they smell human food.
