Pleasure hunter needs advice

Hello everyone. I have never competition hunted and at this time I have no intention to. I have been out of hunting for a few years and am looking to get back into it. My last dog was a direct son of Nitro. He was easy to handle, didn't hunt too deep and had no mean bones in his body toward other dogs. He was a true pleasure to hunt. He came down with cancer and passed away and I just lost interest in it for awhile. I am looking to get back in and would like to know what you guys think is a good cross for me to look at. I don't plan to competition hunt but may someday. However, I don't want a tree happy, run me all over creation slick treeing dog. I am sure I am opening up a can of worms that everyone has an opinion on but that's why I am asking, I want to know what you guys have and how they act in the woods and in the kennel. Thanks for your help.

Last thing I had that I called a complete hound far as running , treeing and accuracy in walker line was a buck creek bred female I had . Only one I've ever owned outta this line but if I could find another like her I'd fork out the cash !

He was by no means perfect. He would tree a possum if he ran up on one red hot but that didn't bother me as I didn't competition hunt. He never was interested in deer or foxes but would tree a possum from time to time. I would rather have a walker if I could find it. Nothing against other breeds, I just am partial to walkers. To each his own. Kinda like the Ford, Chevy, Mopar, etc. debate.

My biggest complaint against him was his nose. He struggled with a cold track but I was OK with that.

I like the finley line of dogs just a head full of brains

Why not stick with what you liked? Got a grandson to nitro that is exactly as you described your old dog to be. Might sell him to the right pleasure hunter if interested pm me.

I agree try to find a breeder that has some dogs out of nitro, chances are what ever he is breeding would be similar.

A lot of walkers are bred to get treed quick, some lines that are known more for being a trailing type dog, would be wipe out,clover and skuna river.

I am located in Morganton NC. I am considering a pup out of the stud dog Magic at Roanoke River Kennels and a nitro bred female. Anyone have any experience with the Magic dog?

Nobody has any experience with the dog at Roanoke River Kennels? Also, I'd like to find a pup out of blood that can work a cold track.
