Hi Guys,

I have a Walker Treeing Coon Hound that needs a home. He's a year old and has papers. Seems to have a good nose and focus but he's never been trained to hunt. We agreed to try and keep him for a friend, but he hunts our cats which my wife won't hear of, other than that; he gets along with our other dog, isn't agressive and doesn't seem to be a problem dog at all. He stays in a crate at night with no messes and has never made a mess in the house. He likes being around people, is pretty well mannered, doesn't bark/howl too much and stays around the house pretty good. I think he'd make a good family dog too. It really makes me sad to let him go, I'd like to find him a good home.

Give me a shout if you're interested.

Thanks

PS: On the cats; we've gotten him to not chase them in the house, but he roams the house sniffing them out. Outside cats are another thing, I don't think he'll kill them, but he sure will tree them.

Need pic of dog and wife.

You could always get rid of the wife and the cats. Just putting it out there...

Thats a 'interesting' name for a dog breed. I laughed at first, but i know it must mean something else, surely it must....





Excuse my ignorance, im a foreigner.



 

For hunting Raccoons.

I had a similar issue trying to figure out what a pig-dog was.  At first, I thought -"Those crazy Aussies are mixing dogs and pigs now?"

Thanks for straightening that up. We dont have raccoons down here.



Pig-dogs are the happiest dogs i've ever seen....

I thought you were joking, there really are pig dogs!!!!!



Half pig, half dog. Kind of like that half alligator dude!!





 

Coon is a commonly-used short word for raccoon, but also used as a racial slur, so (sensible) people avoid using it.


I first heard the term pig-dog when I watched Ronnie Johns' skit "Harden the fuck up, Australia." I almost pissed myself laughing at that. I had to look up pig-dog, and they look pretty scary, but so does my dog, and she's as gentle as a lamb.

Get rid of the wife & cats.

Keep the hound.

You'll thank me later.

Nope- they're bred for hunting wild pigs. Just as a 'coon-hound' is for hunting coons.
This is not a pig-dog:

This is:

I had a Treeing Walker Coon Hound up until a few months ago.

He loved little kids!
Always let me know when someone was at the door.
Friendly towards other dogs.

I sure do miss him.



Still have three dogs in the house, otherwise I'd take this one from you.
