I recently came across a “survey” of popularity for dog breeds in the USA compiled by the AKC and of course I had to dive in and “check the coonhounds”. To my surprise Treeing Walker Coonhounds, described as being brave, smart, and courteous, having the ability to quicken our pulse with their “powerful and propulsive hind quarters working to cover maximum ground with minimal effort”, possessing a beautiful tri color coat, and the ability to melt your heart “basking in the warmth of a campfire after an honest night’s work”. And I quote “this sweet-faced hound will look up and stir your soul with his gentle, pleading expression. ( Note illustration of the gentle pleading expression below). Mercy, what a pretty picture! No wonder Treeing Walkers are called the People’s Choice”. Whoo hoooooooo !! YAY !! Awesome! totally agree !!! Ranking ???? 137 out of 194 ??? Immediately my feathers are extremely ruffled. I called for Riley B my faithful and trusty TWC mix so that I could quickly do some healing stretches to calm myself down !!!!
Healing stretches – calming stretches –
More to follow – additional “coonhound breeds” to check– I must do more research !!
