Is there a particular breed of coonhound that yall would say has the most longevity? In other words, they are still able to get a coon treed later in life. Maybe they aren't as fast as they once were or their voice aint exactly the same but they will show you a coon . And they live longer. What do yall think ?

You can't say a particular breed has more longevity than another. I have had nearly all my walkers that would hunt right up to their death. One was still hunting at 15 years old.

I have only had 2 males than had health issues that limited their hunting.

dont think breeds of dogs matter as much as which lines of dogs within their breed that they are off of.

I don't know if there is a particular breed that has longevity, but I have noticed that the bad ones seem to last forever.

A friend of mine has a black n tan, well black n grey now, that's in his teens. And he still goes. A lot slower but still can get it done.

As much as I like 'em it is definitely not a bluetick...not all, but many seem to break down earlier than they should. I see a lot of them getting that sway back and droopy face too soon.
I think overall the Walkers have the best confirmation well into their later years, also a lot of Plotts seem to hold up well for their age.
This is really where excellent confirmation pays off...like a lot of women, not all but most...if they look good when they are young, they will still be looking good when they start to get a little age.
