I like them both I would say a treeing walker handles a little better than a running walker.Because a running walker don't know when to stop!As for a speed a treeing walker is slower than a pure breed running walker.A pure breed running walker fox hound is fast!they are built for speed long and lean.And the running style is different to.A treeing walker runs with its head down nose on the ground where it can smell the track better.A running walker runs with its head up and winding the track.I have had running walker cross 15 feet down wind of where the deer did on a windy day.The only trouble with that is a running walker will over run the track faster than a treeing walker will.But in my opinion both make great deer dogs it just depends on what you want out of a dog. Absolutely! The only thing I wanna add to that is this: The confusion a lot of times about the "speed" of a dog is the difference in how the dog moves a track. A fast RUNNING dog doesn't mean he's moving game like he should be...or should I say the right game. Just 'cause I can throw a football a long way don't make me a quarterback Accuracy is part of their speed to me. I have dogs here that can absolutely FLY when they're flat out running, but they're not always the 1st ones to the bay. The nose to smell, the brain to process and the body to "get there" = his speed, to me.

you know that one treeing walker buck i have is a smart sun of a gun and well run the rear end off of a deer i got him when he was about 2 years old. he was pretty much a lap dog kept outside. Second day i had him was a sunday after a good hunt on sat which i didnt carry him. gave him a heart and a deer leg.
next tuesday i was able to get a small peice of a deer skin and i created a trail for him. he smelled it all the way tell the end where i tied it in a tree. he never opened up which wasnt a bad sign cause it was a first time.
come friday was the big day id been waitin on. i stuck a collar on him and carried him in the woods himself id had seen a deer cross there thaat morning so i put him in the general area where i saw it..
he went on in the woods without a fight which was a good sign. then he came out of the woods and started running down the dirt road. about that time two big does popped out of the woods and went into the other side. he saw'em and was on their case. he went in on the trail and opened up and let me hear his loud bawl for the first time. he was barkin at bout 50 barks per min.
needless to say he picked up real quick on what he needed to say

They are great deer dogs, like everyone else said they will handle better than a running walker and if your like me and seem to get a bit bigger and slower every year, that is a good thing.

I like treeing walkers, yes they are slower compared to others but they will stay on the track when the others dogs lose it, plus they are much better handling dogs and easier to train.

i have a treeing walker that is faster than all my running walkers and she hunts better than all of them yea, dont get any of us wrong, there are some VERY fast treeing walkers out there. in general they are all very fast and until you put them running beside a really fast running walker/foxhound they look super fast. any way you cut it they are fast dogs... but in general your running walker/foxhound breeds tend to be a little faster. and its not always how fast they run the deer that sets them apart. a running walker will keep running a lot longer than a treeing walker usually too. they are built like a greyhound and they dont get tired very easily. the treeing walker is built a little bigger and thicker so they tend to wear down a little faster.... and by a little faster i mean after about 4 hours as opposed to the 6-8 hour running walker runs. brandon

man I've had both and still do have both. It all depends on the dog. I have culled many treeing walkers and culled many running walkers. But I have one treeing walker that can stroll with one of my fastest running walkers. Right now I have more running walkers than treeing walkers but next year could be a different story. I like em both. Different strokes for different folks
