Dog Breeds - Black and Tan Coonhound |
 |
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a dedicated breed that is eager to work. The breed originated in the Appalachian and Smokey mountains of the United States. It is believed that they are a mix of the Bloodhound and Foxhound. They are quite trainable with a firm and ongoing approach. They may show signs of aggression, but generally can be easily controlled by its owner. Though some are quite friendly, most are reserved towards strangers, and dominate towards other dogs. They can play rough and may not be suitable for young children but make great companion for older children. The Black and Tan Coonhound is a strong breed that is built to get a lot of exercise, and should be given a home with a large yard/property. They are inactive indoors and without proper exercise can easily overeat and become obese. They were originally used to hunt raccoon, mountain lion, deer, opossum and even bears! They can track almost any mammal through its scent trail, and prefers to do so at night. When walking this breed (especially in urban areas, they should not be let off of a leash as they will quickly pick up a scent and may take off! The Black and Tan Coonhound is not a quiet breed and tends to howl if left alone for too long. They require minimal grooming but should be brushed weekly, and their eyes/ears should be cleaned often. Their long ears and large eyelids make them prone to eye/ear infections and routine cleaning should occur to keep their eyes and ears healthy. They may also need to have their face cleaned often because they tend to drool quite a bit!

I'm writing to express my heartfelt gratitude in regards to the assistance Pethealth provided me when my husky, Skye, became suddenly ill. A large bump was discovered in her chest on a Thursday. I scheduled an appointment with her vet for Friday... Unexpectedly, I had to leave the office without my angel because the vet informed me that she had a tumor that required immediate removal. Knowing that I had insurance to help pay medical expenses was a tremendous relief - I was so distraught at having to leave her that the last thing I needed to worry about was a $1,500.00 bill! Less than 2 weeks later, a cheque arrived from Pethealth to reimburse me for every penny! (minus the deductible) I highly recommend Pethealth to anyone considering pet health insurance.
Pethealth truly does provide peace-of-mind at a time when all you care about is the safety and health of your beloved pet. Client: Jennifer Alderson Pet: Skye - Siberian Husky - 5 1/2 years old Condition: Skin Ailment Claim Submitted: $1545.05 Claim Paid: $1495.05 |
