Coonhound evolved when descendants of English Foxhounds, which were
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 raccoons by night and were named the English Fox and
Coonhound. Today's American English Coonhound is a wide-ranging
hunter that possesses tremendous speed and excellent voice.
