coonhounds
Raccoon-hunting breed
Coonhounds are a group of American dog breeds developed to track and tree raccoons, though they hunt other game as well.
These hounds have exceptional scenting ability, long floppy ears, and a distinctive baying voice they use to alert hunters when prey is cornered.
The major breeds include Black and Tan, Redbone, Bluetick, Treeing Walker, Plott, and English coonhounds.
The coonhound bayed all night after treeing a possum.
