Description |
The Treeing Walker
Coonhound has powerful, mobile shoulders. The ears are large compared to the
head. The upper lips hang well below the lower jaw. The forelegs are long,
straight and lean. The smooth coat is fine and glossy and comes in a tri-color
and a bi-color pattern. (Tri-color is preferred by breeders.) Although they come
in tan and white, they must never be called "red," to distinguish them
from the Redbone Coonhound. |
|
Temperament |
The Treeing Coonhound is
good with children and gets along with other dogs. Training is accomplished with
little trouble, as these dogs are able to learn from example. They are primarily
working and hunting dogs but will also make a great companion dog. Working, to
the Treeing Walker Coonhound, is not work but a sport and diversion. They thrive
on consistent and ample attention. The Treeing Walker will be high-strung without enough mental and physical exercise. Loving and eager to please,
the Treeing Walker is intelligent, skilled and confident. Some say they are the
best breed for coonhound field trials because of their speed, ability to locate
quickly and good treeing ability. They are swift with a very good sense of smell
and a distinctive howl. Socialize at a young age. |

Living Conditions |
The Treeing Walker
Coonhound is not recommended for apartment life. These scenthounds are too
anxious to lie idly around a suburban home or condo. They are suitable for hot
sunny climates. |
|
Exercise |
This very anxious and
energetic dog has been bred for severe physical exercise. Coonhounds are born
natural hunters, so they have a tendency to run off and hunt if they are not
kept well-fenced while exercising on their own. They have no road sense at all,
so they must be kept in a safe environment. They need to be taken on a
daily, brisk, long walk or jog. Coonhounds who do not receive enough mental and physical exercise may become high strung and even destructive. |
|
Life Expectancy |
About 12-13 years. |
|
Grooming |
The Treeing is an easy
care breed. An occasional combing and brushing is all that is needed. Check the
ears regularly for any sign of infection and be sure to keep the inside of the
ears clean. Bathe only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder. |
|
Origin |
The Treeing Walker is a
descendant of the English Foxhound, which
Thomas Walker imported to Virginia in 1742. Sometime in the 1800's, a dog known
as "Tennessee Lead," a stolen dog of unknown origin, was crossed into
the Walker Hound. He was a powerful dog, excelling in game sense, drive and
speed, and having a clear, short-chop mouth. The Treeing Walker was not
recognized as its own breed until 1946. This direct lineage brings us this
efficient hunter. This coonhound has retained the looks of its ancestors, the English
Foxhound. An underlying sense of game coupled with untiring speed and manly
drive makes this coonhound unstoppable. The coonhound lineage doesn't really
stop at the Walker, for American hunters also employ other varieties as well.
One such coonhound is known as the Running Walker. The Treeing Walker Coonhound
is an efficient and reliable hunter of raccoons, squirrels, and possums. The
Treeing Walker "trees" its prey, and can then sometimes virtually
climb the tree to get at it. With a little training, however, it will merely bay
its distinctive howl, telling the hunter that the prey has been cornered. |
