    Picking a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Knowing why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and temperament.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take time to develop: the boxer's extrovert and playful nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

Redbone Coonhound Temperament Personality

Redbone Coonhound Information

The Redbone is a versatile hunter that specializes in treeing raccoons, but also excels in trailing and treeing bear, cougar, and bobcat. It?s both fast and agile, able to tirelessly traverse swamplands through rocky hills, and even swim through water at a fast pace. It can follow a cold trail and has a sweet voice on the trail. The coat is short and smooth, but coarse enough to provide protection.

Redbones are generally easygoing, gentle dogs that don't let much bother them. They want to be with their people, but aren't clingy or "in your face." Redbones are eager to please but can become bored with formal training. They are active when on the hunt, but quiet inside. Their passion is hunting, and once the nose hits a scent they are oblivious to much else. Redbones get along well with people, children, and dogs, but may or may not do well with small pets.
