Walkers who uses them want some insight

I was raised with hounds all my life and my dads to this day still calls me nuts for running yellow dogs. But like he tells me its hard to find a hound with quality and traits that they used to have when he was growing up. I love running me some hounds no questions askeds, aint nothing like hearing some hounds in the thickets singing that one of a kind sound, but like I stated above its hard to find hounds like my dads and a lot of the old timers had back then. My dads hounds all came from deep Louisiana and now its like they all vanished. That's just my opinion tho
