Just some numbers......
Comparing Walker Days 2011 to 2012.
Total in 2011 was 460
Total in 2012 was 445, down about 3%.
Thursdays total was up this year by 8 dogs, 100 in 2011, 108 this year.
The Pup hunt was down by 5 this year, 47 to 52 in '12.
The Invitational was up by 13, 61 to 48 in '12.
The Walker Days Pup Hunt is my favorite event every year even though we didn't have one ready for this years hunt. It is the one event I train for every year.
I'm really surprised it doesn't draw more pups. When you consider all the coonhunters and breeders out there raising litters every year, you would think every single one of them would be trying to win this one event. The owner of the sire for the winning pup is Breeder Of The Year and all the advertising and dog talk in the world shouldn't be worth as much as winning your chosen breeds annual Pup Hunt. Most of the Breed Associations today host one of these Pup Hunts and I would hope all of them grow every year. They certainly should.
