Treeing Walker Coonhound

Overview:

The Beagle Walker Coonhound, a lively hybrid of the Beagle and the Treeing Walker Coonhound, embodies a delightful blend of its parent breeds' best qualities. Originating from the desire to combine the Beagle's compact size and amiable nature with the Coonhound's keen scenting ability and endurance, this breed is a fantastic companion for active families. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 30-55 pounds, with a muscular build, long floppy ears, and a short, easy-to-maintain coat that comes in various hound colors, often tricolor. Temperament-wise, they are generally intelligent, friendly, and affectionate, though their strong prey drive means they require secure leashes and fenced yards. They thrive on human companionship and are typically good with children, making them excellent family pets. However, their vocal nature and need for substantial exercise make them less suitable for apartment living. While generally robust, potential health considerations include hip and elbow dysplasia, ear infections, and certain eye conditions, typical of their parent breeds.
