A lot of the running walker's I've seen have had a kindof copper or lemon colored spots. Almost every treeing walker (with the except of Clover "whitey" bred hounds) will be blanketback or have large black and dark brown spots on 'em. Treeing Walker   |

But all you would have to do is turn the hound loose and see if they end up on a tree or ten miles away....... because a lot of so called "treeing" walkers end up running deer and are called "running" walkers to be sold

Running Walkers have a slimmer build to them.They are usually about the same height,just a smaller frame.I have seen some tree stock that would give a deer a new zip code-quick!

I'll tell you what though Rodman, I've seen some of that high dollar so called "tree stock" give 'em a new zip code too but when they do it, they sure do it in style.... and it makes us owners so proud...heh...ha....

Well fellows I will throw my 2 cents in on this. There ant a dime's worth of difference in the 2. I have hunted both builds that ya'll are talking about and its in the gentic make up what comes out. I have had or seen blocky built hounds that would flat out smoke a deer, and slim jims that would tree a coon, squirrel, possum and never run a deer. I have a couple of those colored dogs now that will tree a coon but they have bumped a deer a time a 2 and got their head burried in the dirt form a shocking collar. I had nice walker yrs ago that was about as bred up as u will find , ask bunnyseeker about her. He owns her now I could never break her off deer and she was a all grand pup, but would tree a coon when she wanted too.
