The Redbone Coonhound is an able and proficient hunter for coon, bear or bobcat, yet they make a great family pet. Loyal to its owner, easy to train, and great with children. Early socialization and training will just make them more accommodating to a family. While they usually get along with other canines it may mistake the cat for a coon. Expect to get drooled on. They are bred to hunt and need a great deal of exercise to satisfy their need to roam. Probably better in a open country environment. They are an all-weather dog, and excellent water dogs. Low grooming maintenance.
