I'm Tricia L S., the breeder behind Stackem Up Kennel located in Vermontville, MI. Though Treeing Walker Coonhounds are my heart breed, I have 30 years' experience in all coonhound breeds. I'm an avid pleasure hunter and licensed to judge all coonhounds. I strive to provide a truly positive experience! There's an application & interview process. I conduct genetic testing.
Q. & A. with Tricia L
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding Treeing Walker Coonhounds was passed down from my parents & grandfather who is the founding father for the breed. My parents spent 50 years in the breed. I made my first breeding in 1994 & exhibited a male pup of this litter to a World Champion! I strive to improve each litter. I do genetic testing. I'm NOT your average coonhound breeder! I want only the BEST LIFE for the dog.
What makes your program special?
I breed for me first! What I need to advance my program! Litters are whelped in my home & monitored by camera when away. Socialization is a key component at my house! There are lots of weird noises during growth. I microchip with AKC Reunite. There is a 2-page application & interview. You may gain a family pet, but I gain a friend for the life of the dog. Welcome to the family!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our 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.
