10. Treeing Walker Coonhound
The Treeing Walker Coonhound is named for what it is best at. "Treeing" comes from its ability to trail prey until it runs up a tree for safety. The hound then sits at the bottom, barking and signaling the hunter until he arrives. This breed began as an English Coonhound. It is actually a descendant of English Foxhounds brought over to America, but American breeders soon began to breed the dogs to enhance the qualities they wanted. This breed is gentle and can make a great family dog, provided it gets enough exercise.
