Detailed Redbone Coonhound growth profile
Breed Overview
The Redbone Coonhound is a sleek, athletic scent hound developed in the United States, prized for its deep red coat and exceptional hunting skills. Originally bred from foxhounds brought to America, the breed was refined for endurance, agility, and a keen nose, making it an outstanding tracker of raccoons and other game. Outside of hunting, Redbones are affectionate, loyal companions that bond closely with their families.
Size Category: Large.
Growth tracking is important for Redbone Coonhounds because their rapid growth in the first year puts stress on developing joints. Careful monitoring helps ensure they reach their ideal weight without risking hip and elbow problems, which can occur if they grow too quickly or carry excess weight.

How Much Bigger Will My Redbone Coonhound Puppy Get?
Most Redbone Coonhound puppies reach 50% of their adult weight by 6 months.
Rule of thumb: Double their weight at 16 weeks to get a good adult weight estimate.
Note: They usually reach full height between 12 and 15 months, but muscle filling and weight gain can continue until around 18 months.

Redbone Coonhound Growth Tips
Nutrition
- Choose a large-breed puppy formula to support steady bone and joint development.
- Feed 3 meals a day until 6 months, then transition to 2 meals daily.
- Avoid over-supplementing calcium, which can contribute to skeletal issues.
Exercise
- Provide daily walks and controlled play sessions to burn energy without overstraining joints.
- Avoid excessive stair climbing or high-impact activities until at least 12 months.
- Introduce scent games early to satisfy their strong tracking instincts.
Health Watch
- Monitor for hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, which are more common in larger breeds.
- Keep an eye on ear health—their long, floppy ears can trap moisture and lead to infections.
- Regular weigh-ins during puppyhood help ensure healthy growth and prevent obesity.
