American through and through, the Redbone Coonhound is a gentle, affectionate, and mellow dog that is easygoing at home but ready for action once outside. They love vigorous exercise and robust outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. Big, brown eyes give a pleading expression and ears hang low to the nose. They are sure-footed and confident dogs.
