American english coonhound has the same temperament that hunting dogs show. For the most part, these are loving and devoted to all “pets”. It is known that such dogs intensively form close bonds with their owners, and also often treat them affectionately. They are equally strongly attached to both the owner and family members. Well-mannered coonhounds are gentle and tolerant of children. Many representatives are very fond of the company of children (especially those who provide them with food), forming a close friendship with them.
