i have half english half walker in my kennel now he is a pretty good dog. not the best but he will get you lots of coon. my uncle has the same type dog in his kennel and i have seen his dog tree coon on the ouside consintal in 6 inches of snow. just because you like to coon hunt dont mean you have to enter any ukc events. my uncleis 57 been coon hunting since he was 14 has never had a papered dog and probaly never will. he likes to go out and listen to his dog figure out the track. not bashing anybodys titled dogs but its not everybodys cup of tea. just my 2 cents worth

just go to a hunt and count the garmins i always take extra collars in case some one in my cast wants to barrow one after all i have 4 have only loaned a collar a couple of times and never two. now there is a difference between rich and cheap most coonhunters are cheap imo just look at pup prices tells it all the best bred pup with huge paper trail brings nothing compared to many other breeds out there just because a guy has a homemde dog box means nothing if he has a garmin or tracker he is a rich coonhunter most poor coonhuters just dream about winning the big hunt and never go but do have top notch coondogs and papers means nothing to them
