Are Black and Tan Coonhounds good with cats?
Yes, Black and Tan Coonhounds can be good with cats, but it depends on the individual dog’s temperament, early socialization, and training. Given their strong prey drive, some Black and Tan Coonhounds might have a strong instinct to chase small animals like cats.
Introducing them to cats at a young age can help them learn to coexist peacefully. Supervise initial interactions to ensure both the dog and cat are safe. Provide the cat with high perches or safe areas where they can retreat if they feel threatened to help them feel secure.
