Description:

Lucy is looking for her forever home because her owners could not care for her any longer. This sweet dog was found as a young puppy and her rescuers were under the impression that this was a beagle puppy. As Lucy got older her rescuers soon found out that she wasn't going to be a petite beagle. She is a wonderful treewalker hound with beautiful lemon coloring. She is being fostered by a wonderful foster. This is what he had to say about her:

Lucy the treewalker coonhound is a fantastic animal with a very sweet attitude. She just loves to play with other dogs no matter their size. She is crate trained and readily goes into it at bedtime. I was fortunate enough to be her foster after Lucy was surrendered by her owners because she was too active for two smaller children. If the children would have been a few years older it would have worked out fine. Lucy loves to run at the dog park and jump into the pond when she wants to cool off. She gets along great with the cat. Just remember that Lucy is super smart and will actually move household objects to be able to get to the cat food. She is also a lover and always wants to be hugged and hang with you where ever you go, especially on a drive around town.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Treeing Walker is a descendant of the English Foxhound, which Thomas Walker imported to Virginia in 1742. Sometime in the 1800's, a dog known as "Tennessee Lead," a stolen dog of unknown origin, was crossed into the Walker Hound. He was a powerful dog, excelling in game sense, drive and speed, and having a clear, short-chop mouth. The Treeing Walker was not recognized as its own breed until 1946. This direct lineage brings us this efficient hunter. This coonhound has retained the looks of its ancestors, the English Foxhound. An underlying sense of game coupled with untiring speed and manly drive makes this coonhound unstoppable. The coonhound lineage doesn't really stop at the Walker, for American hunters also employ other varieties as well. One such coonhound is known as the Running Walker. The Treeing Walker Coonhound is an efficient and reliable hunter of raccoons, squirrels, and possums. The Treeing Walker "trees" its prey, and can then sometimes virtually climb the tree to get at it. With a little training, however, it will merely bay its distinctive howl, telling the hunter that the prey has been cornered. The Treeing Coonhound is good with children and gets along with other dogs. Training is accomplished with little trouble, as these dogs are able to learn from example. They are primarily working and hunting dogs but will also make a great companion dog. Working, to the Treeing Walker Coonhound, is not work but a sport and diversion. They thrive on consistent and ample attention. High-strung but loving and eager to please, the Treeing Walker is intelligent, skilled and confident. Some say they are the best breed for coonhound field trials because of their speed, ability to locate quickly and good treeing ability. They are swift with a very good sense of smell and a distinctive howl. Socialize at a young age. They have a life expectancy of 12-13 years.
