Bluetick Coonhound
This breed stepped out on his own after once being considered a color variety of the English Coonhound.
Height: 23 to 30 inches at the shoulder
Weight: 45 to 100 pounds
Coat: Smooth and glossy
Life span: 10 to 12 years
Breed Group: Hounds
Fast and muscular, the Bluetick stands out for his striking coat. He has a pleasantly pleading expression and a big bawl mouth--meaning he has a long, drawn out bark. Although he's a hunter first and foremost, the Bluetick can be a fine housedog and loves his people.
