Description
The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companion, known for their unwavering devotion to their family. They thrive on human companionship and form deep bonds, often shadowing their favorite people around the house. Though they possess a strong prey drive rooted in their coonhound ancestry, they are generally gentle and good-natured with those they consider part of their pack. Their distinctive "treeing" bark, while a hallmark of their breed, can be quite enthusiastic and requires patient training. With a keen mind and an eagerness to please, they excel in various dog sports and love having a job to do.
