Before I say a word I want it understood that what I say is just my opinion. I was told one time that opinions were like buttholes. We all have one and they all stink.

The most famous coonhound in my opinion is Sackett Jr. This is the first famous coonhound I ever heard of. I have only been around coonhunting for a few years. When I was first getting in to it, I did some research on the treeing walker breed because this was the breed of dog I would have. I seen all of the old dogs that got the breed started off. I read about Sackett Jr. I hunted with a dog that was Sackett Jr bred. I made the decision that when I got a pup, it would have Sackett Jr. in the pedigree. The pup I got is a great grand pup of Sackett Jr. on both sides.

Been alot of talk about reproducers. As far as the walker breed goes Rat Attack is your number one. I never hunted with him or seen him in person. My pups grandpa is Rat Attack. I wanted this way. Reason being is cause he is the number one reproducer. Seen on here where lots of people talked bad about him. I am sure he is not the only stud to throw pups that didn't make it. Best way I can say it is that every dog has a mother. The ones that were slick treeing idiots or whatever they were doing wrong should have ended up in the road ditch with small holes in there heads. Don't see how he can be number one and not throw good dogs.

The most famous dog since I have been into coon hunting is Trackman.

Best dog I ever been behind was GRNT. CH. Wipeout Easy Money (Hank) who is now deceased.

Just my opinion!!!!

Many young people are given an introduction to our sport as a result of this book or movie. This is the only impression or connection that many people ever have with our sport. It's the reason alot of "newbie's" often choose a Redbone as their first hound...

There we go. Come on guys. Walkers are fast dogs and heavy tree dogs to. But I do belive the Blue dogs have the best noses and I honestly thing that the English dogs have just as much speed and tree ability as any walker. So lets see some colored dogs talked about on here. jetV was a excellent producer!

"Famous" means everyone immediately knows who you are referring to. Which means something different for different generations, probably more than breed owners. For instance there's probably some teenagers out there who would have no idea who Johnny Cash was, but there's probably many old timers who couldn't name one band on the top 20 pop chart.

So if you were to ask an old Walker owner, Finley River and or a House dog would certainly come to mind, but younger hunters would say Rat, Sackett Jr., X Jr. etc. But it doesn't matter if they won anything or produced anything, just if they were well known and do people recognize the name.

I think this has more affect than breed, as I would imagine that since Walkers are more prevalent than most other breeds combined, that even the other breed owners would recognize the Walker names.

For this reason I would say Finley River Chief as the most famous names amongst current coon hunters, but will soon fade away as he disappears from the multi-generation pedigrees. But amongst all people, I would agree that the names "Little Ann" and "Old Dan" are probably most well known!
