American English Coonhound
American English Coonhounds (45-65 pounds) are energetic, friendly, and vocal, perfect for active owners. They’re kid-friendly but may be too boisterous for young kids. High energy needs 2+ hours daily of running; their short coat requires minimal brushing.
Feed 2-3 cups daily of Merrick Classic Healthy Grains Adult, with 26% protein for their stamina. Control portions to maintain lean build. Primarily outdoor dogs, they need secure yards and aren’t suited for apartments or quiet neighborhoods due to barking.
Training curbs chasing instincts. Ideal for hunters or active families with space, Coonhounds thrive with exercise and mental stimulation, not for sedentary or urban lifestyles.
