Basic Description: Renowned for speed and endurance, the American English Coonhound has a strong but racy body, a deep chest with plenty
of lung room, a strong back, broad loin and well-defined musculature. A balanced, powerful dog with no exaggerated parts, the American English
possesses the grace and attitude of a well-conditioned athlete.
The American English Coonhound evolved when descendants of English Foxhounds, known in the New World as Virginia Hounds, were bred to
adapt to rougher terrain. Originally these hounds were used to hunt fox by day and coon by night and were named the English Fox and Coonhound.
Through selective breeding, today's English is the epitome of a swift, hot-trailing, competitive coonhound. The impatient English is a super-charged
hunter that is wide-ranging and possesses tremendous speed and excellent voice. Full registry with AKC as of June 1, 2011.
