There’s a lot of forgiveness that I can find to give if a dog like him if they are dependable and consistent like that. He was a pretty dog. Do you not still have any of these dogs?
I use to really like the treeing walkers and I guess I still do, but they aren’t my first pick as a hound anymore. I went with the competition bred Walker blood because they were, as a whole, fast and had big motors. A lot of them are head up type hunters more son than most of the other breeds. The modern ones though are real subject to be straight line hunters and they are so competitive and independent that they don’t honor other dogs. That’s been selective breeding goal and it doesn’t suit me. Bear hunting is probably the closest thing to hog hunting and the most common hounds used for it are the plotts I would imagine. The traits that make them so good at it are the same traits we, or at least I,look for in hog dogs. They have to have drive, bottom, and courage just to get started. I mean Cajun can explain it better than I can, but those rascals get ran day after day in the mountains and do it well. That isn’t something that you just find anywhere. I’ve always been kinda curious about whether or not the running dogs could run day in and day out in the mountains like they do on the flatter ground. I’m not saying they can’t, I truly don’t know so if someone can answer that question for me, lay it on me.
