National American English Coonhound Association

National American English Coonhound Association breeds American English coonhounds in Walnut Cove, NC, serving Stokes County and the Piedmont Triad near Winston-Salem. It has been active with national breed clubs and follows extensive recommended health screening for hips, elbows and eyes to ensure each puppy meets recognized standards.

Litters are raised in a home environment where early socialization, daily handling and gentle exposure to household routines help develop confident dogs. Puppies also enjoy secure outdoor play areas under mature shade trees and are introduced to scent games before leaving.

Association members participate in field trials and scent events to select breeding stock with strong working instincts. With decades of involvement from members across the region, it maintains detailed pedigrees to support breed preservation. Their focus on temperament and sound structure yields dogs suited to both family life and field work.
