Running walkers run heads up vs noses down treeing walkers, also Running walkers normally wont tree if the game climbs over 10 feet tall, Running Walkers have more endurance, they have been bred for long races on fox and wolves, Treeing walkers bred for coons, big difference. Running Walkers have been bred for special sounding voices as well aka Biirdsong, sound like birds to some, some strains of Foxhounds have bell or bugle sounding voices on track as well. Running Walkers run the scent funnel heads up after striking, treeing walkers trail heads down. Anybody interested in rules for Running walkers ought to order the Field Trials rule box for all foxhounds, so many people dont know what a good running foxhound is susposed to do vs a treedog variety. Foxhounds have 200 years of breeding for endurance on running game like fox and coyote. If anybody has a fox or coyote pen next to them you ought to go to a hunt inside them and look at the dogs and hear them running and see them running on track in a 2000 acre pen full of trained foxes. pretty cool to see 200 hounds start running on Friday night and about 100 of them still running on Sunday morning, Tomas Bro Pen in Texarkanana was my favorite fox pen, coolest thing ever was when they had Birdsong meets in there listening to those voices running on track, way different than most hounds of any kind, I had Hudspeths at one time in a big wolf pack but i think thye are extinct now, they had a bell sounding voice you could pick out 4 miles away even with other packs running coyotes. There even used to be treeing kinda strains of foxhounds if u were hunting bobcat and lion, down here lots used Julys to tree in a foxhound pack as the foxhounds dont tend to tree if the tree is very high, they want another race instead of hanging around more than 30 minutes. In mexcio foxhounds usually would catch the bobcats on the gorund and go to another one before u could find the dead cat.
