History


A relatively new designer breed, history can be found by looking at the parent breeds. The boxer originated in Germany, sometime in the 19th century. They began their working career as overseers of livestock. Later on they were recognized as a great dog for policing, and were used by the Germans in the Military in WWI. The Treeing Walker Coonhound was originally called the English Coonhound and was an ancestor of the English Foxhound.

Maintenance


The BT Walker has a short coat that will shed. A good brushing regimen is needed. Minimal bathing is required as this hybrid doesn\'t tend to sport doggy odor. After bathing or swimming, be sure the ear is completely dry as they have a tendency to ear infections.

Ideal Environment


The BT Walker is not recommended for a first time dog owner, or a family with small children. This very high energy dog will require lots of exercise as well as mental stimulation. Also, since they tend to bark quite a bit, a home that doesn\'t have neighbors in close proximity is best. They will do well hunting, tracking, and running. Consistent, firm, but gentle training is a plus.

Dog Training!

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site. Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
