Treeing Walker Coonhounds are loving, intelligent, confident, and enjoy interacting with humans. They make a splendid companion dog for an owner who understands the characteristics of the breed and is willing to work with their in-bred nature as a hunting dog. On the scent, they are tireless, alert, and intense. At home; they are mellow, sensitive lovers of comfort. They like having their own kennel or other space into which they can retreat at will, if provided with pillows and blankets, as they love to nest.  Owners have noted that "getting a Walker hound out of a bed, off a couch or away from a fireplace will be a feat in itself."

So as you can see from his pictures; Bear loves to snuggle and any dachshund would be lucky to have him as a pillow, a heater, or just a great friend. Bear has been around dachshunds so long now that he thinks he is a dachshund and tries to fit in the small beds along with the other dachshunds. He has such a great personality and loves, loves, loves to go for car rides. He is very well behaved and does not require a lot of exercise. Please consider giving Bear a furever home.
