The MOST FAMOUS COONHOUND EVER,
has got to be Merchant's Bawlie. He won 2 World Championships, back when there were large turnouts at the Hunts. This was in an era when NEWS of a good coonhound didn't get around to all coonhunters like it does today, but yet probably every coonhunter of that time period had heard & knew of Merchants Bawlie.
As for the Treeing Walker Breed of best REPRODUCERS, I would say that it would be hard to leave Johnsons Banjo & Banjo II out of the mix. They put the TREE in the Treeing Walker Breed. I would say that well over 90% of todays Treeing Walkers have that blood in them? There were more TREE DOGS back then, then alot of you were led to believe, but the Banjo strain put the SLOBBER SLINGERS in the Treeing Walker Breed as well as other Breeds of hounds breeding to them also.
I will also say that there are well known coonhounds of EVERY BREED, whether registered or unregistered.
