The black and brown raccoon retriever originated in the United States in the 18th century, and this breed was the first dog breed to be separated from the American foxhound and cross-bred by the American solitary dog and the bloodhound. Raccoons were a source of meat and fur for early colonists, so dogs that hunted raccoons became valuable. The black-brown raccoon hound was bred in this demand.

The Black and Brown Raccoon Hound is first and foremost a working dog, a hunting dog that tracks and catches prey to trees, and is able to withstand the harsh winters, heat and harsh terrain. Relying on a keen sense of smell, the black-brown raccoon retriever tracks and chases the raccoon up to the tree, waiting for the hunter to arrive. Hence its name. Of course, the black and brown raccoon dog's endurance, strength and courage allow it to hunt larger prey, such as wild boar, bear, deer and mountain lion.
