 Hounds were hunted in packs and lived in large groups, so they were selected for sociable temperaments and the desire and ability to hunt without direction from humans. 

 A Redbone coonhound, colloquially a coon dog, is a type of scenthound, a member of the hound group. They are an American type of hunting dog developed for the hunting of raccoons and also for feral pigs, bobcats, cougars, and bears.
