By nature I tend to be a theories man...I have asked myself this same question about the walkers...I do not have any theories on the other hound breeds...
I went back and read the beginnings of the walker breed on account of their popularity and because of them dominating the competition hunts...
The theory...the early breeders did not take shortcuts nor did they care about expenses...they traveled many a mile to pick up or buy the right dog...or even to breed to the right dog...even though many years and generations have passed this great foundation was set in those years...by the sounds of it these were true dog men who knew what a great hunting dog was...with true dog men...it is not about the money...it’s about the dogs...
That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it...
When the breed itself became more important than the dogs ability the separations got larger. Think of when some were breeding for certain color and culling on that along with refusal to breed outside their certain line of dogs other were breeding for ability and culling on that.
I recall a discussion I had with a man at a hunt one night they had not made a single outcross off their own line of dogs in over 50 years. That one is extreme but go read on some of the boards and in less than 5 minutes you will see that it is a different world than the walkers call home.
