Redbone Coonhound

USA
The Redbone Coonhound is an American scent hound with rich red fur, used primarily for small game that climbs trees, such as raccoons, but also capable of large game, such as bears and cougars. Wikipedia says it is distinguished from other coonhounds by its red color and "cold nose", the ability to follow old tracks more than other breeds. The AKC describes him as balanced, friendly and eager to please. It is not recognized by the FCI.
