Introduction

Treeing Walker Coonhounds are super-friendly, laid-back, low-maintenance dogs that make excellent family pets and companions for active, outdoorsy people. Never happier than when they are with their people, they are loving characters that are eager to please, but they do have a high prey drive which might mean they also love chasing the family (or neighbour’s) cat.

History

Originally bred to hunt racoon, the “treeing” part of the name comes from chasing prey up a tree and keeping it there until the hunter arrives. The “Walker” part comes from the name of the breed’s founder, John W. Walker, an American who developed “Walker Hounds” from English Foxhound descendants in the 1800s.

Personality

Very intelligent and trainable, the Treeing Walker Coonhound loves to have a job to do, but they can also fit right into busy family life. Sociable and affectionate, they’ll happily “work” alongside their people all day and then curl up on the sofa to watch TV in the evening.

Health Issues the Treeing Walker Coonhound is generally a healthy breed, but dangling ears can be prone to infection, and hip dysplasia can affect larger dog breeds.
Care Tips the Treeing Walker Coonhound is low maintenance in terms of grooming, but plenty of exercise is needed. Grooming: an occasional brush-over is generally enough to keep a Treeing Walker Coonhound’s coat in good condition. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: at least one or two hours of exercise is needed each day, ideally with as much off the lead time as possible if in a safe environment. A Treeing Walker Coonhound thrives in a country environment, but they make great exercise companions for active individuals that like to go on longer hikes.
