Hey all you walker men. I hunt mainly black dogs so dont be prejudice towards me. But I would like to know what line of dogs has the consistant BALANCE. I know we all here about tree dogs, track dogs, independent dogs, etc. But what line of walkers has this: Drive, Hunt, Track power, Speed, EXPLOSIVE slobber mouth tree power, Good nose, and 3/4 Independence (I like a dog to get a piece of yours if he HAS to). Just curious of what yall think is the most balanced line out there that will throw the majority off these traits consistantly. opinions please. I know theres no perfect line of dogs, but what is the closest in your opinion.

Thanks

To be honest . I believe it's 90% training . We can all talk the big talk a out bloodlines and not liking dogs off this stud or that stud or only hunting pups off a specific stud but truth is .... When ya really go looking for a top pup or top dog ; you can hardly find one regardless of breeding .

I've had good luck over the past several years with Skuna River dogs . They aren't perfect but I've done we'll with them

balance is also in the eye of the beholder guys consider balance for the way they hunt , the terrain they hunt ,the game they hunt...etc pick yourself up a couple pups from a walker guy that does well in your area and hunt it with your blackdogs .scratch that itch.lol

I like clover and cutter breeding. But to me the best ones or the cross bred ones. They seem to be more balanced in my eyes i dont have any right now but have seen some nice ones.
