Are Redtick Coonhounds vocal dogs?

Yes, Redtick Coonhounds are vocal dogs. This is not the breed for lovers of silence, as Redtick Coonhounds are very fond of the sound of their own voice. They not only love to bark but love to bay and howl loudly. Because they were bred for hunting, Redtick Coonhounds have a strong instinct to bark and make noise while tracking game. 

If you’re considering getting a Redtick Coonhound, be prepared for their vocal nature, especially if you have close neighbors or live in an area where noise might be an issue. As with any dog, however, they can be discouraged from barking as frequently with proper training and exercise.
