Walkers
I hunted walkers, for about 25 years, had some real good, ones, i had one out of Sacket JR. i liked, if you didn't take him, hunting. When you loaded, him in the dog box, the next time, he would, look at me nod, his head, up and down, he would mumble, at me, as if to say, see i told you, you should have taken me hunting. I don't have a walker, on the place now, i've got some red bones, and black&tans, i don't know, if you could give me, one. I was stateing the truth about their, orgins, i have some black dogs, that will, break, their necks, to put, their heads, in my hands, i will have to stop, what i'm doing, and pet them. I gave away, the last walker dog, i had, and he would tree, his own coon, he was different, from most walker dogs, he liked, to be petted too, he would bite a stranger. I've got an old 12 year old Nite ch Black&tan, that has treed coons every night, that i've hunted him this winter, but one night. He is the only dog, of any color, that i've seen, that would tree coons, on hard crusted, snow, frozen ground, down in the twenty's. Once, in a while, i'll get lucky, and i'll breed a world class hound, that's a hound, that i thought, was capeable, of winning it all. You can study pedigrees, hunt with both, animals, try to bred, for what, one or the other lacks, you still need some luck. The pups you raise, has to go to someone, who at least, doesn't ruin them, before, they get started, they have to be hunted, to bring out, their ability, to tree coons, they must be put in the hunts, to show, their stuff, it's a long ways, from puppy, to coon dog, most do not make it.
