History
3
At the site of John W. Walker's home, he and George Washington Maupin, avid hunters, bred and developed the famous Walker foxhounds. With red fox migration into central Kentucky, about 1852, Virginia hounds were crossed with "Tennessee Lead," a dog noted for the speed and stamina needed to hunt red fox. English hounds "Rifler" and "Marth" brought color and conformation to the breed.
