In this episode Steve talks with North Carolina’s Mark Miller.Mark is a veteran raccoon hunter that has long been devoted to the Treeing Walker breed. Mark’s Walker hound Dreamer was voted into the Southeastern Treeing Walker Association’s Hall of Fame as a coonhound.
Through Miller’s association with North Carolina State Trooper Brad Hyatt who runs Plott dogs on bears, he became interested in Plotts, North Carolina’s official state dog.
How does a houndsman devoted to a given breed, especially on that has been particularly successful with that breed, make the decision to try another breed, moving from the most popular among United Kennel Club’s seven coonhound breeds to a breed that has the fewest dogs in the registry? This episode tells the story in detail including a discussion on the differences in the two breeds and why Miller was persuaded to switch. Enjoy dog talk at its finest in this interesting conversation.
