Coonhound puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

Coonhounds originated in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, bred by early settlers who needed a dog capable of hunting raccoons and other game across rugged terrain. They descended from European scent hounds, including English Foxhounds and Bloodhounds, selectively bred for stamina, cold noses, and treeing ability. Over time, regional preferences led to the development of distinct Coonhound types. Though still prized hunting dogs, many Coonhounds today thrive as loyal family companions in active homes.
