The Bluetick Coonhound is the state dog of Tennessee where it is said to have originated. Selective breeding in Louisiana of Foxhounds, Curs, French Hounds and English Coonhounds produced the Bluetick Coonhound. The Bluetick was originally recognized by the UKC as the English fox & Coonhound, which included the Bluetick, Treeing Walker and English Coonhounds as all in the same breed. The breeds were later separated into their own breed. In 2008 the Bluetick Coonhound was recognized by the AKC in the Miscellaneous Class.

The best kind of dog for raccoon hunting is typically a coonhound breed, such as a Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bluetick Coonhound, or Redbone Coonhound. These breeds are known for their keen sense of smell, stamina, and ability to track raccoons. It's important to train and socialize these dogs properly for hunting activities.
YES.... they are better then Pitbulls. Redbone Coonhound are very smart and know who is in the family and who's not. You will have to teach them how to be a good watch dog
