America was the birthplace of the Bluetick Coonhound. This dog was first developed in Louisiana. Judging from the dog's coat color, it has descended, in part from the French Grand Bleu de Gascogne. Breeders in Louisiana bred several other breeds into the foundation stock to get the Blue tick Coon hound.

Temperament: The Bluetick Coonhound is a gentle, good natured dog that does well in family life. This dog will guard the home, and will act in a reserved manner to those it does not know. Older children will probably do better with the Bluetick Coonhound than small ones. This breed will not enjoy being left alone for long periods and can suffer from separation anxiety. The Blue tick Coon hound will get along with other dogs, but will view other domestic pets, including cats, as prey animals.
