Description
Dog Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound (medium coat). Hello, my name is Churro and I am a fun young guy who is looking for an active home, I will thrive in a home that can give me ample exercise and mental stimulation including breed specific outlets like sniffaris and scent work. I may do best in a house instead of an apartment or condo because I can be vocal. I'd also love to meet any dogs in the home before adoption because I can be pushy and overzealous with my friends. Love hound dogs and looking for a happy companion? Come in and meet me!

Overview:
The Treeing Walker Coonhound, a breed originating in the American South, was meticulously developed for its exceptional ability to track and "tree" raccoons and other small game. Physically, they are athletic and elegant, showcasing a smooth, short coat typically in tri-color (black, white, and tan) or bi-color patterns, along with a distinctive long tail and expressive, often pleading, brown eyes. Weighing between 50-70 pounds, their lean musculature allows for impressive endurance. Temperamentally, they are known for being intelligent, friendly, and affectionate, making them wonderful companions. However, their strong prey drive and high energy levels mean they thrive in active homes with securely fenced yards; apartment living is generally not recommended due to their need for extensive exercise and a tendency to bay. While generally a healthy breed, potential owners should be aware of possible issues like hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as bloat. Their loving nature makes them suitable for active families willing to provide ample physical and mental stimulation.
