Please define what you mean in "Fox Hound Walkers".
What do you hunt?
Are you in Massachusetts....if you are, there are several Good Houndsmen in New England using Running Walkers to kill lots of Coyotes. Some Running Walkers make nice Bear Hounds in NE and the Carolinas.

Again what do you mean by "Fox Hound"?
There are many Breeds and Strains used to Pursue Ole Reynard!
When you say Walker, I take it you are referring to "Treeing Walkers". They are a relatively new Breed founded in the late 1930s and early 1940s by Mr. Lester Nance from Running Walker Foxhounds (whose bloodlines go back to the 1840s) that preferred to Trail and Tree Raccoons to Running Grey or Red Fox.
Other Breeds such as Triggs, Julys, English Fox Hounds, and American Fox Hounds have different Strains within each that make good Grey and Red Fox Hounds. Also each of these Breeds have Strains that make good Coyote Hounds.
As stated in my earlier Post to you these Breeds have Strains that make darn nice Bear Hounds along the East Coast.
You will find some nice Hounds in New England that make nice Coon Hounds and their owners have lots of fun running Fox with them in the Snow.
You do not need to reinvent the wheel, just look around and you should find a Hound or Pup to fit what you want. JMO!
Call me and I will be glad to give the numbers and names of Folks who might can help you.
