Holy Cows this is amazing !!! 
 

Amish?... Shock collar test

Lineage - here's a fun question for YOU.  Since you have
just entered so many of their pedigrees, can you tell us:

just what IS an "American English Coonhound" ?

The only raccoons in England are in zoos, usually.  No one
hunts them;  so we have never needed a specialist dog.  ?

Uhh They have the foxhounds in England, The same dogs were taken to the USA and then selectively bred to be best at raccoon I  guess. ( Nite Hunt) This and the Walker tree hound look to be nearly the same thing too... Then the red ticked is also the same as English... 
It is a real puzzle to me. I am doing my best to figure it out.

I have this problem with dogs getting entered in both Pitt bull and the American Staff section.

Release the Hounds!!!!
Le French Fox Hound!

Yep, can see why you have the latter difficulty.

The only Coonhound I ever met, over here, was a  US
import, black & tan, and looked  (like the blue-tick eg
shown by Wiki) as tho' he had bloodhound in him.
Big jowly head, longish ears.
'Nothing' like a Foxhound.  The tri  French foxhounds
in the vid are more like (English) Foxhounds, although
there are subtle differences in size and head shape.
But the general head and body shape on some of the
photos on your links is similar, yes -  I just hadn't
realised it before,  because of the hound I met and
pictures seen before & since, I suppose.  Foxhounds do
come in some colour variation, including a degree of
ticking,  but I've never seen a Foxhound that resembled
any American  red-tick hound closely for colour.

Seems an odd etimology (sp ?)  for the name, even so.
I mean, I can 'get' there being an "American (version of)
English Foxhound" - but why Am Eng  COONHOUND  ?

Linda.
