Treeing Walker Coonhound
The Treeing Walker Coonhound is a breed of dog descended from the English Foxhound. It was first recognized as a separate breed in
1945. The breed began when a stolen dog of unknown origin, known as "Tennessee Lead", was crossed into the Walker Hound in the
1800s. Thomas Walker had imported the English Foxhound to Virginia in 1742. Treeing Walker Coonhounds are extremely fast, agile,
and tireless in the pursuit of game. They are extremely vocal with a distinctive bay that allows their owners to easily identify
their dogs from great distances. While very affectionate, they are best suited to a life of action outdoors, and will suffer from
being cooped up. While generally not considered suitable for apartment dwelling, Treeing Walker Coonhounds can do well in that
setting, provided they are given plenty of opportunities for exercise outdoors.
