Why is it off-colored if it isnt a walker?

I think thats a lil wrong, lol.....I always considered an off colored to be when a dog doesnt meet its breed standard for color.....as in a solid white walker, or a redbone thats black and tan, or a solid black and white bluetick.....why are they considered off colored if they arent walkers? Can someone please explain that to me? cause I think thats a load of horse apples.....

I hunt English - Aren't the other breeds classified as off colored. lol

LOL.....

HAHAHA, lol CP......I always considered english to be offcolored when they dont look like a bluetick, LOL......

They are considered off color if they arent a Walker because...........................................................................................




WALKERS RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatch it Blue Style! remember your breed was once classified as English as was the Walkers! lol olololol

Plotts were on the Ark.... Anything else is an off breed....lol....

I think the answer is because of the number of walkers. Majority of the coonhounds registered and hunted in the hunts are walkers. It makes it easy to say anything else is off colored.
Take a bowl of marbles and put 100 black ones in the bowl and put 5 white ones in the bowl. Tell some one to pick the off colored marble and they will pick the white one cause it is the minority. Nothing wrong with the white marble just another way to express the majority/minority in our dogs.

But heck, what do I know got some of those giant Beagle type thingies tied up in my backyard. Give me a dog that trees a coon & I'm happy, the heck with color, can't see them at night under the tree anyway.
