In general, English Coonhounds are healthy. They’re designed to be physically fit, hardworking dogs. Responsible breeders assess their dog’s health condition— that they’re free of hip/elbow dysplasia or eye disorders (cataracts, retinal atrophy, etc.). The ears must be examined regularly, removing earwax and debris. It’s common among deep-chested and large dogs like Coonhounds to experience bloat (sudden, dangerous stomach problem). Owners are responsible for eyeing possible bloat and taking measures if it occurs.
Active runners/bikers/hikers may find Coonhounds the best, given their high energy and social nature. Also, English Coonhounds need lots of exercise to maintain happiness and health. You may provide them that by playing ball-chasing in the yard. They love preying on animals, and they’ll hunt down any interesting scent they catch. Letting them out of the leash with limited control from you isn’t a good idea. A well-fenced play area is necessary.
