Bluetick Coonhound

Bluetick CoonhoundThe Bluetick Coonhound is a variety of coonhound, so named for the speckled pattern or "ticking" found in its markings which give the fur a blue effect. This hunting dog has a short dense coat that requires little grooming. Bluetick Coonhounds need ample space to run, daily exercise and are said to thrive in a house with other dogs. The low hanging ears of the Bluetick must get routine cleaning to prevent infection. Songwriters and Country music artists reference the Bluetick Coonhound in many works, among them Emmylou Harris' "Red Dirt Girl" and Neil Young's "Old King"
