Do Redbone Coonhounds bark a lot?

Yes, Redbone Coonhounds bark a lot. Like most hunting hounds, the Redbone Coonhound uses barking and baying to communicate while tracking game, so they can be quite vocal, especially when they pick up a scent or when they’re excited.

In a home setting, Redbone Coonhounds might bark or bay to alert to the presence of strangers, to express excitement, or when they’re bored. They’re not usually excessive barkers without cause, but they do have a strong tendency to vocalize, which is something to consider if you live in an area where noise could be an issue.
