GREAT SITE!!!

I remember seeing the Coonhound Cemetary in the movie Sweet Home Alabama and have always wanted to go there...If anything happens to my Dual CH Female (NITECH CH `PR` Clary's Lazy Daisy) I plan on having her buried in Coonhound Cemetary...She is my sweet girl, and has been my baby ever since I got her

Just came back from Alabama from attending a cousin's daughter's wedding and visiting relatives, some of whom had lived in Cherokee. At the rehearsal dinner, one of them mentioned the Coon Dog Cemetery. It became my mission to see it. In looking back through my pictures, I took more of the Coon Dog Cemetery than the wedding or my relatives. For a hound lover, it was definitely worth the trip!

We are coming through Tuscumbia on our way to Monte Sano in September, and this is on my list of places to stop.
A lost dog is nothing to snub your nose at. Losing a pet you love hurts, and I think it is wonderful that there is a place like this to pay tribute to those pets!

Thanks for a great site. Next time I'm in that part of the country I will stop by.
I've had good to great hounds over the years and some could not be bought at any price and some were given away.
Thanks again,
Charlie....

:-) My stepfather used to hunt Redbone and Black and Tan coon dogs in Rockingham, NC. He had a great Redbone named "Red". He was great!
I just moved to AL 2 years ago and last week my sister and my 2 nieces came to visit from NC. I had seen on a map the location of the cemetery and just had to see it. We were over whelmed by the love these hunters had for there companions. I remember when "Red" died that my stepfather cried and cried! I don't remember where he buried him.

We come to Alabama to visit my husband's family when we can. We usually stay in our family's cabin really close to the cemetary. Josh took me to see it, knowing i grew up with Coonhounds and love dogs in general. I thought it was sweet and sad, but very touching and very beautiful! That's the best place for a loyal coondog's soul to rest!

Hi, This is a great site, I just buried
my redbone that was 14 yrs old. He was a grandson on Hunters Famos Amos. I got the chance to meet and hunt with Mr.Max Hunter and his grandson Noah in VA.I have had dogs all my life as pets, but a coon dog is much different than a pet since you spend so much time in the woods with them. Coon hunters and the dogs they hunt have a special bond that pet dog owners do not have.

Looks like a nice place to lay a hound to rest ..

:-) My wife & I visited the cemetery yesterday while we were in Red Bay. It is a bit out of the way but well worth the time and effort. Keep up the good work.

What a great tribute. I would have never known this existed if www.BoundaryWatersRadio.com didn't mention it. My walker coonhound, Mable, doesn't run coon(none up this far), but does a great job at protecting the livestock we have and our son.
