Dee Gunter has been breeding and loving the Bluetick Coonhound for nearly fifty years. Dee was a key advocate and the breed being recognized by the AKC. In this video Dee shares her love and wisdom of the breed.
The Bluetick Coonhound is a hunting dog, that tracks vermin and keeps it at bay until a hunter can dispatch of the the animal.
Blueticks are not just for hunting they make amazing family dogs, great for the active family or individual.
The overall build of the Bluetick Coonhound is muscular and speedy. The head is carried up and the tail carried over the back, without signs of fear or nervousness. The Bluetick coat should be moderately coarse and glossy. The Bluetick Coonhound gets its "blue" coloring from black ticking on a white background, which gives the impression of a navy blue color. This ticking covers the body and can be interspersed with variously-shaped black spots on the back, ears and sides. Preference runs to more blue than black on the body. Black should predominate on the head and ears. Bluetick Coonhounds should have tan dots over the eyes and the sides of the muzzle will be tan. There is generally a ticked blaze running up the face. Bluetick Coonhounds should be 21 inches to 27 inches tall at the shoulder and males weigh approximately 55 to 80 pounds (25 to 36 kg). Females are considerably smaller at an average weight of 45 to 65 pounds.[1] Feet should be cat-like, rounded with well-arched toes. Their paws are larger than those of nearly all other breeds of dogs. Rear legs should have a moderate bend at the hocks. All legs should be straight from the dog's body to the ground when viewed from the front or rear.
Gascon blues are larger than standard Blueticks, with males a minimum of 27 inches and a maximum of 30 inches, per the American Blue Gascon Hound Association's breed standard

I was given a Blue Tick as a toddler. Fantastic dog that followed me every where i went, Protected me, slept with me, and played with me. She was the best dog i ever owned.

I basically just want to be best friends with this lady and her dogs.

my bluetick recently died. It was given to me. I would have never gone out to look for one as a pet. He was my best friend. He was the smartest, softest, most loving, gentle, funny, strong and beautiful dog i've ever had. I am devastated by the loss of my friend. He went with me everywhere. His name was Leroy. I just wanted you to know. i wish there was a way to post his photo here. Not that i'm bias, (lol) but i think he was the most beautiful bluetick ever.

Adopting a Bluetick this week, he’s 2 years old. I can’t wait to bring him home, his name is Hobbs!

We just got a 7 week old Bluetic, his name is Blue. This is our first hound, and I believe we are in for an adventure. I liked all the information you spoke about.

I rescued a walker and want no other breed. Outstanding intelligence, heart like nobody else, just a phenomenal dog.

@michelerozek5426

Mine loves hugs. We rescued him from a man who did nothing but keep him chained to a doghouse 24-7. He was starving and covered in poop. I never thought I would end up a dog like him but he had me at hello.

I love how enthused she is to tell the world about her breed. I like that these videos focus on the overall breed characteristics and then get specific to the owner or breeder's dogs. And thanks for asking about health issues. Keep up the good work Zeke. Can't wait to see what's next.

Our purebred bluetick, Bessie, is now almost 9. She is hands down the best dog I've ever had and I would never have a dog of another breed. But I will say a few cautionary words to people thinking of getting one. Firstly, and this didn't come up in the video, this is a "LOUD" dog. We live in a house in town. I've trained her to keep a lid on it, but she was very loud when we first got her, and even now she still starts bawling her head of at super high decibels when she gets excited out in the yard (for instance if a squirrel attempts to enter the yard) Fortunately the neighbors love her. But you can probably hear her 5 blocks away (seriously - at least 5), so I'm not sure about other people. She is an extremely affectionate dog. She is constantly snuggling up and trying to get pets. You have to pet her about 8 times a day. She prefers to be with me and/or my wife all of the time. She doesn't like to do things alone. She doesn't like to be alone, but she puts up with it, to a point. OK, here's the big one: You have to walk her all the time and I don't mean little walks around the neighborhood either. We're currently doing 3 brisk miles every single morning. If you don't do this, she'll get kinda crazy and might start chewing up the furniture, spreading trash around the house, and things like that. So, she keeps us in shape. So to finish this, in my experience, these are the best dogs ever - the sweetest, most loving dog you could ever imagine. But you have to be ready for all of it. They're not for everyone. This is not a golden retriever. This is a high maintenance dog.

My Bluetick Coonhound is the best dog I've ever had, we do everything together and love running, hiking and biking together. Best dog ever

@travishendrix7026

If you have not had heard a pack of hounds in the middle of the night sounding off and baying up.

@spamosaurus616

I have one of Dee's blueticks, he's the best dog I've ever known.

Haha, fun story. About four days ago my friends found a starving and sickly young dog that just kind of moseyed on up to them (They live in real rural farmlands). The dog, despite being sick and probably neglected, was as sweet as could be to the family's four girls, one of them being just over a year old. However, the mother of the girls was allergic to dogs, so the dog needed a new home asap. After three days my grandmother decided to take him, and the dog was taken to the vet this morning. The dang thing turned out to be a pure bred Bluetick Coonhound of all things, and is currently on medication for hookworms and anemia. Prayers for this poor dog. His name is Israel, or Izzy for short.

My father had a bluetick when I was a baby, and young kid. He was everything this woman said; especially the super protective part, but also the incredibly family friendly part, and amazing hunter. I remember laying on the floor in the living room watching tv with my head on his tummy, and he would just lay there as long as I would. When I would get up to go somewhere (ie: the bathroom or kitchen); he was right there by my side. I miss him sssooo much. 😢

Dam right the bluetick in my opinion is one of the best hounds and one of the best dogs a person could ever own. My old Chief has been gone almost a year now and I miss him so

I owned a Bluetick/July Walker mix. Best dog I have ever had. He was great with my step children. He was very protective of us. He would always do safety checks at bed time. Very vocal with strangers.
