Redbone Coonhound
Even-tempered. gentle. Yours.
If you've ever heard a Redbone Coonhound open up on a scent trail, that deep, rolling bawl echoing through the hollows like a church bell made of velvet, you already know this dog speaks a language older than words. Draped in that gorgeous, uniform mahogany coat that glows like embers in late afternoon light, the Redbone is the most striking scenthound you'll ever see and possibly the most soulful creature you'll ever live with.
