What is the difference between a Bluetick and a Redtick Coonhound?

The primary difference between a Bluetick and a Redtick Coonhound is the color of their coats. It’s all in their names: the Bluetick Coonhound’s coat is blue with black mottling and has tan markings on the legs, chest, and above the eyes. The Redtick Coonhound has an orange or reddish coat ticked with white flecks. The red ticked pattern is usually accompanied by white markings on the legs, chest, and sometimes the face.
