Website Update
Website Update And New Pictures To Be Added
Since our first blog entry we have done quite a bit of work on our two websites about Treeing Walker History. There is still a lot more that needs to be done and will be completed in time. I would like to thank everyone who has sent us private emails about the websites. There has been many very good comments about the sites and the information we are putting on it.
We are getting a better scanner so that the pictures we ad will be the best quality possible. Of course some of them because of their age and where they come from will only be so good. We have also been very busy and active in building up our Archives of History and Information.
Anyone that has pictures or stories that should be included in this site, they are welcomed here. We will gladly note who provides such information if a person wants us to credit them.
Some of the hounds of the past pictures we will be adding shortly are: Bixler's Supreme Sally, Nelson's Butch, White River Rowdy, Mack Twain, House's Bawlie, Incredible Rock, California Mack, and many more.
Treeing Walker Coonhound History and Pictures
I was very much involved with coon hunting, breeding and raising Treeing Walkers and taking part in hunts and shows. Still at this time it has been 20 years since I have be involved with the sport of coonhunting or the Treeing Walker Coonhound. Still with that 20 year time off I have been involved in the sport for over 32 years.
I would think about my beloved sport and hounds at times and realize how much I actually missed a part of my being. So much history about this great breed that I had in my possession that over the 20 years I have lost some of it.
I have been thinking about this great sport much more lately. Going on the web I found that there wasn't a lot of information out there about this great breed and it's history. I found that sad because there is so much great history that people need to know and learn about.
We have started the web site http://www.finleyriverchief.com . We decided on that name for a number of reasons. First we wanted this site to be about Treeing Walkers. The dog that was considered the greatest producer of all time, the one that was called "A Living Legend". Finley River Chief is the foundation of so many great and wonderful hounds and strains today. I know some may be offended by this, BUT Finley River Chief was considered the Gold standard for reproducers.
As we put this website and blog together we welcome anyone who has pictures, stories, or parts of history they wish to share. Just because we call this site Finley River Chief doesn't mean we don't want information from all of the other great strains that helped make the Treeing Walker breed so successful.
Please as you find this site and blog, please feel free to post your experiences with the Treeing Walker breed. Please don't use this site for spamming. As it gets larger and more detailed I don't see anything wrong if you have a dog for sale you want to mention, but please have other things to share and don't turn your post into a FOR SALE post ONLY.
All coon hunters are welcomed here to travel down memory lane and also share the present and future of this breed.
