Best Answer

The raccoon dog of China, Japan, Korea, and southeastern Asia is so named because of its resemblance to a raccoon. It is not related to raccoons. For dogs in the US referred to as coon dogs or raccoon dogs, see next answer.

No. Raccoon dogs are called such because they are used for hunting raccoons.
