Yall boys kill me, I dont see why you can't just let a man make a thread and leave it alone. A hound is a hound some run good some dont, I personally hunt walkers but wouldn't have any problem with buying any color dog as long as he would run and tree me a coon. (wrote this before I saw the second page. Glad to see all the walkers came thru.) Besides hunting to me is more about the picture in my avatar than the color of the dog.........
