A two-year-old male Redbone Coonhound with black masking. The Redbone Coonhound has a lean, muscular, well proportioned build. The dog's eyes may be dark brown to hazel, but a darker color is preferred. The coat is short and smooth against the body, but coarse enough to provide protection to the skin while hunting through dense underbrush. Some Redbones may exhibit a ridge of fur behind the ears and down to the shoulders when alerted, but dissimilar to the ridge found on the Rhodesian Ridgeback. The coat color is always a rich red, though a small amount of white on the chest, between the legs, or on the feet is sometimes seen. The white chest and feet markings that occasionally appear on Redbone Coonhound puppies today is most likely a throwback to the mixing of Bloodhound and Foxhound bloodlines. .
