Treeing Walker Coonhound

Native to the United States, the treeing Walker Coonhound is an impeccable hunter and tracker that originated during the mid-18th century. These medium to large-sized dogs have a sleek, well-muscled frame, a smooth coat, and the long, floppy hallmark hound ears fans of the breed have come to know and love. Their trademark booming bark is quite loud and clear and was helpful in letting hunters know their hound had successfully tracked and located prey. A descendant of the English and American Foxhounds and various other hound breeds, the Treeing Walker Coonhound was officially recognized as a breed all its own by the United Kennel Club in 1945.
