Default RE: Rabbit/ Coon Hound

I would also suggest a jagdterrier or an Airedale from hunting lines. Airedales have a better treeing instinct, jagdterriers are easier to find from hunting parents. Both can handle a raccoon. I use my jagd to hunt brush piles and in the holes during the day for coons, and he flushes bunnies. He hunts very well and can drive the rabbits if necessary. I guess what I'm saying is a terrier from hunting lines could do what you want. Remember, this is a compromise. No generalist is as good as a specialist at the specialists deal. A terrier won't hunt coons as well as a coonhound or rabbits as well as a beagle. They can and will do it with little fuss.
