Our Redbone Coonhounds
Red Vortex prides ourselves on owning and producing beautiful, rich red hounds that beautifully represent the Redbone Coonhound breed.
Our goal has always been to preserve the whole dog. Correct structure, breed type and presence without losing natural ability, drive and huntability the breed was created for.
If it can’t do both, we do not include it in our program. We strive for versatile hounds that can look just as impressive on the bench as they do under a tree, proving themselves at both ends of the dog world.
Hank
Hank is a proven Redbone Coonhound who represents exactly what we value in the breed, a capable working hound with the temperament and stability to be part of the family. Hank is an experienced hunting dog with a strong nose, determination on track and the ability to stay committed to his work. At home, he lives inside alongside children and other animals.
Hank comes from Raisin River bloodlines in Ontario and was selected for our program for his pedigree, working ability, structure and temperament. He contributes experience and proven hunting ability to our breeding program while fitting our goal of producing versatile Redbones that can hunt, track and still be dependable family companions.

Elvis
Elvis is a young Redbone Coonhound who brings together beautiful breed type, an affectionate personality, and a pedigree rooted in established Redbone lines. He is a social, expressive dog who lives inside our home alongside children and other animals and has been raised as part of the family.
As Elvis matures, we continue to evaluate his temperament, structure, working ability and overall suitability for our preservation breeding program. We believe breeding dogs should prove themselves as individuals rather than earning a place in a program based on pedigree or appearance alone. Elvis represents the next generation of our program, and we look forward to seeing what he develops into.

Dixie
Dixie is the foundation of our Redbone Coonhound program and represents the versatility we strive to preserve in the breed. She is a proven working hound with a strong nose, determination and natural hunting ability, having worked raccoon, rabbit, coyote, bobcat and black bear. She has also demonstrated the versatility to retrieve birds and the independence and persistence required to work and remain treed on her own.
Outside the woods, Dixie is equally valued for her temperament. She lives inside our home alongside children, dogs, cats and birds and transitions easily from working hound to dependable family companion. Her ability to possess genuine working instinct without sacrificing stability in the home is one of the qualities we value most in our breeding program.
Dixie comes from established American Redbone bloodlines with strong Timber Chopper influence. As the foundation female behind Red Vortex, she represents our goal of producing Redbones that remain true to their historical purpose while being sound, versatile and dependable companions.
