A very important difference between the Redbone Coonhound and the Tibetan Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Redbone Coonhound is a medium-sized dog while the Tibetan Terrier is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Redbone Coonhound belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell.
