in the colonial period, several hunting dogs were imported because of the popular sport of the moment, fox hunting. Various breeds of hunting dogs were imported from England, Ireland and France, and the particular mix of these different races form the initial genetic composition of dogs which became known later, as dogs Virginia.

At the time the existing hunting dogs, were considered inadequate or rather incomplete, because he could only dedicate himself to hunting animals that hid close to the ground, but they could not with those who hid in the treetops, as raccoons, the opossums, wildcats and even bigger prey, as Cougars and bears.

the dogs were confused, They despistaban and in turn were unable to keep track of the dam, years. At that time, to take refuge in trees escaping. It was for that reason that cross mediantes, they got a wide variety of dogs that might be able to follow the trail of animals sheltering in the treetops. Above all, raccoons.

The race name derives from its original use in the hunt for raccoons.

It was thus that this group of dogs were developed trying to highlight and increase their best characteristics.: an acute sense of smell, the ability of tracking, pursue tirelessly its prey regardless of human orders, both on the ground and when they hid in the treetops. Y, especially guard cornered prey until the Hunter arrived. It also, they are excellent in the delivery of all types of dam, If adequate training.
