Gibson raised and trained Walker dogs. She attended many Grand American's before ever owning her own dog. Many years later, Brad and Misty began their own journey in the coon hound world raising walker dogs and showing in bench shows, hunts, and conformation events. Misty has won and titled multiple hounds in bench and conformation shows.. She played an active role as president of Lincoln County Coon Club and has judged several events including Saluda Coon Dog Days.
