We are thinking of adopting a Coonhound Treewalker from shelter, 1 yr & 7 mos, but we live in a townhouse, I read they are highly energetic, and are not happy with a neighborhood walk, should have a lot of ground, fenced in yard I also read they should not be walked without a leash to run in an open space bc they will run off to hunt and smell, etc. Please let me know about Blu, how much space you have for him, how old he is, etc., etc.-loved video, he is so cute.

@silentxnight Sorry I didn't reply quicker. Blu is 5 now and currently has a fenced in yard to run in and enjoys it, but while away at college he was fine in a little duplex and a visit once or twice a week to the dog park. His energy is up when you first get home, but he is a hound and enjoys sleeping and laying around a lot. I got him a remote control shock collar to train him to stay close, but it is best to keep him on a leash because he will run off.

that dog has probly never seen a coon.

@ccbiczo Sound logic.

[cammarkgross]

why are they called walkers??? Are they gaited???

[mmd83]

I think they were bred with Chuck Norris' chest hair. But seriously folks, It's because the elderly sometimes cover their feet with tennis balls. Yeah, your guess is as good as mine.

After going to wikipedia I found they are named after Thomas Walker, the man who imported english foxhounds to Virginia in 1742. And I have no idea what gaited is, sorry.

I had a treeing walker coonhound many years ago. It was a wonderful dog but a "runner" because he didn't get enough exercise. No fence was a match for him. I remember him trying to "save" my 3 year old daughter from her little rubber swimming pool because her screamings of joy made him think she was unsafe. He tried to pull her out by her hair. Here's remembering Hagen.

[doggletts]

Nice Dog. Train her to use a towel on the floor to dry off, unless this is your brother's bed and this is an April Fools' Day joke.

[Slipsnob]

You have a nice bed.

... And you're letting him roll his wet fur all over it! Oh nooooooo D:

[ivegotamagicstix]

@ccbiczo No, he has! He has been to Detroit.

@coonhoundcompanion Thanks. At First I thought they were called walkers because, there are gaited dog breeds, like the German Shepard, Lab, and Australian Shepard. Oh, Are your TWH's Flat shod??? I hope you don't use pads and chains...
