When did the running & treeing lines of walker hounds seperate, i mean as far as registration?
and since they were english fox & coonhound how did they decide the walkers were american foxhounds & not english?
when did they drop the fox from the english name?

In 1945 the Walker breed was recognized as a seperate breed from English.... With Blueticks following a year later....

Maybe Lumped into the same Breed Name but very Rarely the Same Bloodlines,, Just way to much French Blood to Make such Statments .. Sugar Creek and Smokey River Hounds were a Very High % of French Hounds .. Some lines of English Hounds contain more French than any English Fox Hound..

i know when the walker seperated from the english. what i am looking for is when the running walkers became american foxhounds and how exactly they pulled that off when the treeing walker came from the english fox & coonhound. and what year did they drop fox from the english breed name.

Well google (my best friend) to the rescue... here's a link I found which pretty much establishes a timeline that was published here on this site of 1742 and the years following.

thats bad gouge written by show fancy.
the walker name for this line of dogs goes back to Garard county KY and John W Walker his nephew Jason & his sons Edwin & Stephen from the dogs they bred in the 1850-60. it was texans who hung the name walkers on them after buying a bunch of them and they bred primarily for fox but they ran a lot of different game well. this was before the treeing & running lines split.

but this still doesn't answer the question, when did the english drop the word fox from the name?
