I don't own a bluetick coonhound, but I've had much experience with them at rescue. They tend to be extremely human friendly, and dog friendly. They slobber, they tend to bay a lot(cause they gotta let the world know how they feel!) and they are not the easiest dogs in the world to train, although individual dogs are easier to train than others. Bob, a bluetick coonhound at FOHA, knows sit and give paw, and I think he knows lay down as well. He's very cuddly and sweet, and loves water! Blueticks and coonhounds in general tend to love water! Young hounds (under 3) tend to be high energy and need to run! Coonhounds are also very, very silly.
And generally, coonhounds just love to have fun! Arooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
