We rescued a Treeing Walker Coonhound about a year and a half ago. She is a sweet and interesting dog. Because the breed is not very common, I would love to hear from other Treeing Walker Coonhound parents to discuss temperament, experiences, etc.

HokieFan - I know that seems to make more sense, but I intentinally put this in the Northern Virginia forum. Walker Hounds are more common in rural areas since they are hunting dogs. I'd prefer to hear from other Northern Virginians that have this breed and how they fit into the NOVA lifestyle. I suspect there aren't many of us as I've only seen one here - ever!

My favorite dog board is Dog Forums and Pet Forum - Dog Breeds and Pet News

It's a lot of very educated, knowledgeable people who can give you info on the breed via their experience. Unless you had a golden retriever or a mystery mutt, I doubt you're going to get a response from a thread like this.

According to the AKC Coonhounds website (http://www.akccoonhounds.org/default.asp), they have night hunts and bench shows in Manassas all of the time. The next one is coming up. This will be your best bet to meet other coonhound owners who hunt in this area.

We have a black-and-tan coonhound and lived in Springfield until last year. Everyone (including our vet) thought he was a Doberman with unclipped ears. We now live in AL and everyone knows what he is here!

I tried to click on this link and my work blocked it!!

Reason? Marijuana; Drugs.

Can you believe that?? Is the link not a city-data link?

No, it's not city-data. My school blocks it for the same reasons, but I don't understand--there's nothing drug related about it. Try adding an "s" to the http:// so you get https:// and then the rest of the link. That solves the problem at school, believe it or not.

Spencgr - thanks for providing that helpful information! Altough we don't hunt with our Coonhound, it definitely would be fun to go and meet other coonhound owners and see the dogs. It was really nice of you to let me know and provide directions. Thank you so much!
