Dark red color, broad head and good cat feet.
In your opinion which behavioral characteristic defines your breed the most?
Calm, non aggressive and willing to please.
What is the largest false impression your breed gives?
People think they are slow starting.
What should breeders be most concerned about today?
You want a dog well bred with a proven record of reproducing or breeders should be concerned of dogs being made into Night Champions based on the handlers ability rather than the dogs ability.
Is your standard sufficient? If you do not feel it is sufficient, briefly list changes you would like to see made.
I’m not a big show person, so to my knowledge the show standard is limited.
What counsel would you like to give to newcomers?
Do your research, set your standards and find someone whom you can trust and work with.
What is the single most charming attribute of your breed?
The Timber Chopper Redbones are the best companion, but once you put the track collar on them they are strictly business.
Do you prefer your breed judged moving or standing?
Standing.

The Black & Tan is one of many tracking breeds that was developed in the south of the United States. The breed can trace its immediate ancestry to the American Foxhound and the Virginia Foxhound of colonial days, with probably the introduction of some Bloodhound stock. This latter would explain not only the coloration of the Black & Tan, but its tendency toward being larger-boned than other breeds, its long ears, and its famous cold nose. The American Black & Tan was the first coonhound breed to be admitted into registry with UKC. When they were first registered in 1900, and for several years after that, they were registered as American Black & Tan Fox & Coonhounds. |
