i ran walkers since i was 7 till about 12...then we moved and we got rid of the dogs and now we live with even more houses around and we feel a good hunting dog cant be a house dog..many of my dads friends dogs were house pets too and ran like it...when our dogs were out they meant buisness..so were dogless now..i miss them good ole days of running the coon hounds..i miss that sound of when they strike a hot track..or hit the tree...ooooo i want a dog soo bad! i hope one day i can talk my dad into letting me put on out in the yard!
