Black and Tan Coonhound puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Black and Tan Coonhound puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Black and Tan puppies shoot up in height and ear length, reaching adult height at around 12 months. Filling out and mental maturity take longer, often until 18 to 24 months, and many stay silly and playful through the whole second year. Expect a long adolescence with bouts of very selective hearing.
Short scent games and simple tracking exercises are ideal for young hounds, building focus and confidence without straining joints. Keep long runs and repeated jumping for later, after 12 to 18 months. Keep the puppy slim, and see your vet if you notice limping, reluctance to move, or frequent head shaking, which in a long-eared breed often points to ear trouble.
