I'm Katie M., the breeder behind Foster Creek Coonhounds located in Cambridge, IA. We breed to not only continue our own phenomenal bloodlines, but to improve this breed with each litter and do our part to ensure the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come. We do all we can to give our dogs and pups the best lives.
Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
I made the decision to start breeding after finding the right pair of Redbones to cross. I have raised one litter out of my Walker male and they have excelled in the woods but have not bred my Dutch Shepherd male yet. The Dutch Shepherd has just started to prove himself by becoming an excellent tracking dog for wounded game and is just 3 wins away from his conformation title.
What makes your program special?
I only breed high quality hounds. Any cross that is made is not on accident. There is a lot of research that goes into choosing the correct sire and damn.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Redbone Coonhound puppies are red. Treeing Walker Coonhound puppies are tri-colored. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Katie was really responsive and easy to communicate with. It’s clear she cares a lot for her dogs, and chose her breeding pair carefully. She chose a puppy to match our family and he has been wonderful. He is nearly 5 months old now and he is very smart and has a solid temperament. He’s an agility prospect, but we will also like due some scent sports as well. I’m excited to see what this pup can do.
