Bichon Frise:
The Bichon Frise's coat needs very special attention. It must be groomed daily with a stiff brush, and the dog bathed once a month.

Black And Tan Coonhound:
The Coonhound is a gentle, very affectionate and energetic dog with an extremely loud bark. Never leave a Coonhound alone all day, as they will surely get into some kind of mischief due to boredom, such as becoming a "serial barker" or destroying your couch!
Average Lifespan Of The Black And Tan Coonhound: 10-12 Years
Average Weight: 50-70lbs
Inherited Health Disorders:
Blood:
Hemophilia: Hemophilia is a disorder in which blood will not clot properly to aid in the healing of wounds. A dog with a mild form or hemophilia might never even need treatment, unless excessing bleeding occurs due to trauma or surgery. Unfortunately, dogs with severe hemophilia often die from uncontrollable bleeding problems. Once you know your dog is affected, your vet will help you with managing this lifelong disorder. This will include being vigilant for signs of bleeding, and occasional blood transfusions.
