Hester's
Black and Tan Hounds
Big Game & Coon Hounds
Where Legends are Born - Not Made
Welcome to the 'Home of the Hounds with Grit, Track, and Tree Power' and the 'Home of the One Hound Bear Pack'.
Hester's Black and Tan Hounds are the result of breeding the best to the best for over 100 years. These hounds please the hard to please and have been used on game around the world and in the United States. If these hounds will satisfy Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Russians, South Americans, and South Africans, we think they will please you, regardless of what you hunt.
They are the best of the best. When better are available, I will own them.
Big Game & Coon Hounds
UKC Master of Hounds Jeff Hester has dedicated his life to breeding this stock of Black and Tan Big Game and Coon Hounds. Over the decades, Jeff has bred, trained, hunted, and competed with this lineage of hounds. They are gritty, cold-nosed, solid tree dogs, and move track in one direction. These hounds are the ultimate game catching partners and great companion dogs.
Jeff has always been focused on hounds with exceptional ability, good genetics, eliminating breed abnormalities, good health, good temperament, and breed standard confirmation. He is proud of these hounds and knows you will be impressed by them. When you have tried the rest and are still looking for the best, you will find them here.
'History, Heritage, and Hunting' isn't just a tagline at Hester's Black and Tan Hounds, it's a way of life.
Regardless of your pursuits, Happy Hunting!
