TREEING WALKER HOUND
When I was growing up in the rural south their were only four groups of registered dogs; pointers, setters, beagles and coon-hounds. At the time coon-hounds were only recognized by the National Coon-hound association. About ten years ago the AKC picked up on the black and tan.
"About ten years ago the AKC picked up on the black and tan."
Uh, no. As mentioned at the end, B&Ts have been fully recognized for some 50 years (I know in the '80s, since I was somewhat involved in AKC dog stuff then).
