Treeing Walker Coonhound Comments, Reviews and Questions

Trevor

Male dominant, *extremely* territorial and violent when a male human is present indoors. Loud howls when excited and nasty snarls and teeth showing when angry. Very nice and friendly dog when outside, but absolutely dangerous when inside.

She is loving, loud and stubborn! Perfect!
