Walker Studs in North Mississippi........

I am always constantly looking for a list or stable of Studs that I would breed to so that when I get ready to breed, the homework is done.
I am a Treeing walker Breeder and have been for well over 30 years. I have high high expectations from a walker stud. As you can see by looking on this Walker Stud board, there is probably over 100 walker studs and many many are dual Gr. champions.
So it is very hard to choose a stud with a market that is absolutely flooded with studs. There are enough on here that you can find a marketable stud fairly close to you so that you dont have to drive a long way.
With that said here is what I look for in a stud when I make a cross on one of my females:
1. Intelligence
2. Balanced on track and tree
3. Good mouth. The louder the better
4. Good looking and lots of color preferred.
5. Stud was an early starter
6. Confirmation when possible and cat footed when possible

Right here in North Miss we have several nice studs that I feel are very worthy of your consideration. To me they all fit what I look for and I would not hesitate to breed to any one of them
Right now my list just in Mississippi is:

1. Southern Farms Jeb.... John Walker
2. Super sonny......William Marshall
3. Bodacious......Tyler Hawkins
4. Bark...... Wayne Hornkey
5. Bullet.....Gary Horton

John Walker has all his contact info on his own stud page. Gary Horton has a stud ad under Hortons Bullet on the stud page. Sonny has his own stud ad...Bark is on my kennel page.
Bodacious is local here in Batesville, ms and I can put you in touch with Tyler.
All these studs are worthy of your consideration if you live in north Miss. Eastern Ark, and West Tn.
I put my stamp of approval on anyone of these studs. All are very balanced and dont have any major faults that would make me not consider them.
Everyone of them fit my list above of bottom line requirements.
If you cant find the contact info for any of them or you want me to put you in contact with their owner, pm me and Ill get you their contact info and tell you as much as I know.

A lot of females come in twice a year and many will be coming in season in the next month. If you have decided to breed your female and you live in this tri-state area, I encourage you to take advantge of my 51 years of hunting experience and 34 years of breeding the same line of hounds and save yourself a lot of phone calls and frustration trying to filter through 100 stud page ads.

Give these dogs a shot...they all have Skuna River lines in them because down here in North Miss, we need a track dog and the Skuna River line is well known for that and they are not bad on the tree either.
I will help you sell the pups on here if you choose one of these studs, cause I believe in them.
I sometimes take 2 to 3 years to make a cross and I am very fond of my females and I dont take lightly when I breed one of them. When you take that long of a time to make a cross you can bet I have done my homework. I dont want to waste a whole lot of my time if they are not ready to be singled out by the time they are 6 to 7 months old. these dogs will throw you that kind of pup time after time.

Keep um spotted.
Be sure to look up Southern Farms Jeb at Autumn Oaks in a couple weeks he is one good looking motor scooter and if you draw him, your hound better eat its Wheaties!!!!!

Two questions sum up life....
Why am I here ? And Where am I headed.

Would like to see some video of these dogs up on the wood.

I will get ur done real soon.

I will be on the cast with Jeb at Autumn Oaks as a spectator and Ill get some video then.
I will post some of the Bodacious dog on here over the weekend.
Mr. Ed Walker, Johns dad and I are going to go hunting with Sonny as soon as the weather breaks.
Not sure about bullet. The owner doesnt hunt him much any more due to his value as a stud dog. He will take you hunting with direct young dogs out of him and after all thats what we are looking for anyway is what does the stud throw.
The Bark dog is a work in progress for me. I am trying to work out a deal with his owner to stud him out for him.
He is down on the gulf coast of Miss. right now and Wayne (barks owner) works in the oil fields and is gone for months at a time, so Bark is just sitting at home. IF I can get him to trust me with him, I will sure get some video. I heard one when he was just a pup maybe 10 or 11` months old and it was super impressive.
Loud and intense to say the least. I had a littermate to Bark and she was singled out and treeing her own coon really really earlly. I won 8 straight shows with her with competion to make her a Grand show champion. I had her split tree from two real intense tree dogs and had two coons up the same tree when she was around 8 months old.
It was a great cross on Boots.
So hang in there, I will try and promote these hounds from here as much as I can.

John probably has some of Jeb and I will see if he can get them posted. Jeb is a very nice hound. I think by the time he is three he will be capable of winning a world hunt or a truck or one of those other kc hunts with $40 grand riding on it.
He is a bad dude right now. Solid hard tree dog that is steady. Not some radical treeing idiot. Plenty loud and if roughness starts he will just move around the tree and never misses a lick.
He is the probably the most solid coondog for his age I have ever seen period and I have hunted with a ton of top coondogs in my lifetime. So that is saying a lot.
All the hounds I listed are coondogs. Not wanna b's.
Sonny was running and treeing at 3.5 months old and never stopped. I think he just turned 6. So they all have something in them or about them that you could say WOW. They all have the wow factor. But from a killing coons accuracy and competition winning dog, I would say Jeb has a leg up on the rest of them.
they are all gun barrel straight, impressive from strike to tree and all are loners with independence bred into them, but Jeb can impressive you with the rifle or in competition and that one is real rare. You can probably count on one hand how many dogs you can say that about. all of us.
Thanks for reading this post. I am just trying to keep the home bred dogs at the forefront and letting folks know you dont have to drive across country to breed to a coondog that will throw young exciting coon treeing balanced pups.
