American English Coonhound Breed Profile

Breed Overview

The American English Coonhound, also known as the Redtick Coonhound, is a sleek, athletic breed originally developed in the United States for hunting raccoons and other small game. Descended from English Foxhounds, these dogs are known for their incredible scenting ability, speed, and endurance.

Coonhounds are intelligent, social, and energetic companions that do best with active families or individuals. They can be vocal and require consistent training, but they’re also affectionate, eager to please, and get along well with children and other dogs.

Size Category and Why Growth Tracking Matters

The American English Coonhound falls into the medium to large breed category. Adult males typically weigh 55–75 lbs, and females weigh 45–65 lbs. Because they have an athletic build and a high activity level, monitoring growth is essential to ensure they’re developing lean muscle without becoming overweight, especially during rapid growth spurts in puppyhood. This also helps prevent joint and bone issues associated with improper growth.

American English Coonhound Growth Chart & Weight Ranges

Below is a typical weight range chart for American English Coonhounds during puppyhood. Keep in mind, individual dogs may fall slightly above or below these averages based on genetics, diet, and activity level.

Age	Average Male Weight (lbs)	Average Female Weight (lbs)
4 weeks	4 – 6	3 – 5
8 weeks	10 – 14	8 – 12
3 months	18 – 25	15 – 22
4 months	24 – 32	20 – 28
6 months	35 – 48	30 – 42
9 months	45 – 60	38 – 52
1 year	55 – 75	45 – 65

Note: Males typically weigh 5–10 lbs more than females and may grow slightly longer before reaching full adult weight.

How Much Bigger Will My American English Coonhound Puppy Get?

Most American English Coonhounds reach about 50% of their adult weight by 4–5 months of age. By the time they are 6 months old, they are generally around 70% of their adult size.

• Adult size is usually reached between 12 and 15 months, although muscle development may continue beyond that.
• Since they are not a giant breed, growth slows significantly after the first year.

Rule of thumb: To estimate your puppy’s adult size, double their weight at 16 weeks. For instance, a 22-pound Coonhound at 4 months will likely weigh around 44 pounds when fully grown.

American English Coonhound Growth Tips

Nutrition

American English Coonhounds benefit from a balanced, high-quality puppy food formulated for medium or large breeds. Avoid overfeeding to prevent excess weight gain during critical joint development periods.

• 8–12 weeks: Feed 3–4 times daily
• 3–6 months: 3 meals daily
• 6–12 months: Reduce to 2 meals daily
• 12 months+: Transition to adult food with continued portion control

Choose food with a good balance of protein (22–28%), fat (8–15%), and avoid excessive calcium which can affect bone growth.

Exercise

Coonhounds are highly active but need age-appropriate exercise during growth to avoid joint stress. Start with:

• Short walks
• Playtime in a secure yard
• Basic scent and obedience games

Avoid high-impact activities (like jumping or long runs) until after 12 months when joints are more developed.

Health Watch

While generally healthy, growth-related concerns for American English Coonhounds include:

• Hip dysplasia: Maintain a healthy weight and choose reputable breeders who screen for this condition.
• Ear infections: Their long, floppy ears require regular cleaning, especially during teething and growth periods.
• Obesity: Monitor calorie intake, especially if your puppy is less active.

Routine vet check-ups, a well-monitored growth chart, and early training help ensure your American English Coonhound puppy grows into a strong, healthy, and well-mannered adult.
