Think about it....I'm not saying there aren't off color dogs that I would love to hunt with or own, I am not COLOR BLIND. That said....why are there so many walkers out there?
When the "other breed" guy's can answer this question then we will talk %age's.
Don't let em get to ya Trevor, the best hound I have followed in 25plus years have been walkers....followed some good "off color" dogs too....but the ones that stand out and wish I could get one more pup from, have all been Treeingwalker Coonhounds!

Not only do they look like walkers, but they are democrats too; when they open their eyes and see the light, everything changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

c'mon now Richard. Let's get back to reality. You may have had better luck with walkers than with anything else, but that don't mean that others haven't had the OPPOSITE experience.

It's comments like that keep me from EVER wanting to hunt a spotted dog.

..............when I first started competition hunting (October 1970), some of the best hounds in the hunts were Plotts and Redbones ( Pioneer Slim, Tree Talking Rowdy, Hunters Timber Chopper, Timber Scanning Radar, Woodpecker, Ace)...............some of the worst were Walkers..............................for the most part, things have switched around.............bottom line..............good and bad in all breeds............some are just harder to find.....................

I don't know Mr. Nethery, it seems like all us off-colored dog hunters have to hear the "if it ain't a Walker, it must not be a coondog" junk more than y'all get the trashy, ill, slick treein' bit LOL. I guess it's a matter of perspective.
