Dogs classified as “hound dogs” come in a wide variety. Although most hound dogs are intelligent and can learn tricks, they all have peculiarities. Coon hounds are the lazy dogs you see laying on the porches of ramshackle cabins out in the boonies. You’ve seen them — the kind of dog you check for breathing because they haven’t moved in 48 hours. When you teach a hound dog tricks, they move at their own pace.

As you can see in the video, even a hound dog with good training does tricks at their own pace. No, they did not slow the speed of the video down. That’s just a normal coon hound moving at an average coon hound pace. Nothing is quick unless it involves devouring a bowl of food in seconds.

There are many different types of hound dogs. Basset hounds are short and stout, with ears nearly dragging the ground. Beagles are energetic. Blue heelers, or Australian cattle dogs, are herders but are often confused with hounds. Many people think coon hounds are lazy, but they are faithful and loyal animals with hearts as big as their ears. They are excellent family dogs and love kids. They just move slow.
