Where are Redbone Coonhounds from?

Redbone Coonhounds originated in the United States, specifically in the southern states. They were developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries by American hunters who wanted a versatile and reliable hunting dog. The breed is thought to have descended from red Foxhounds brought to America by Scottish and Irish immigrants, which were then bred with other Coonhounds and Bloodhounds. The breed was refined to excel at hunting raccoons and other game across difficult terrain. They are known for their strong scent-tracking abilities, stamina, and distinctive red coat.
