The English Coonhound, also known as the American English Coonhound or Redtick Coonhound, is far from a usual suspect when it comes to performing dogs. Surprisingly, though, you can see this breed in two main film roles from the 1930s and 1970s.
The title links will take you to Amazon movie pages (Reel Dogs earns a referral fee at no cost to you) or, for rarer titles, alternative sources for the films.
All Roads Lead Home * Year: 2008 * Country: US * Breed content: Low
A Border Collie has a small role, and many dogs are seen in glimpses, mostly at the very end, including a quick sighting of an American English Coonhound.
The Nashville Coyote * Year: 1972 * Country: US * Coyote content: Low
One of many in a series of Wonderful World of Disney TV coyote films. A wide range of hunting dogs is featured, with only a few glimpses of English Coonhounds in the pack. Also a main role for an American Foxhound.
Sounder * Year: 1972 * Country: US * Breed content: Medium
Based on the classic novel by William H. Armstrong. Despite the title being the dog’s name, Sounder has more of a background role than a star player.
The Voice of Bugle Ann * Year: 1936 * Country: US * Breed content: Medium
With a variety of coonhound breeds, including the star American English Coonhound pup, Bugle Ann. (The film is rare and the above link is to the novel.)
