coon dogs
Treeing hunting hounds
Coon dogs are breeds of hound trained to track and tree raccoons, typically hunting at night.
The term covers several American breeds—bluetick, redbone, black and tan, treeing Walker—developed for their stamina, keen noses, and distinctive baying that signals when prey is cornered: We could hear the coon dogs baying up on the ridge.
