yeah I'm feeling old now!

The earliest I can remember seeing what later I found to be game chickens was around 85-86 a friend of mine's dad had some next to his pen of walkers. Thinking back they were greys. On another note someone I know has a walker as a chicken protector excellent dog she has visited me a couple times. Been thinking about getting one myself

Good morning! I guess if I didn't have these Shepards I'd probably have a Great Pyrenees. A friend of mine bought 2 of them and every time he turned his back they were killing his birds. My brother has a Pyrenees that's a very good dog. I guess you could get a good dog or bad dog in any breed.

A great Pyrenees and my property would not be conducive to my sanity lol. I'm sure ole boy didn't think " hey I need a chicken dog so I'll get a walker" but she sure has done a good job and real good with the kids too. not as hyper as I would have imagined but she is "freerange" whenever I go over there she's almost always laying flat on her side in the back in a Sunray with hens walking around

Not really doing as well as I hoped

When I was a kid my father had lemon walkers and razorback walkers. The razorbacks wasn't worth the food they ate so they didn't stay long, back then using dogs to run deer was a big deal with all the hunters.

Yeah my friends dad was about as into coon hunting as one could get. He had friends that had them as deer dogs

sorry to hear I'll keep that in mind thanks

Yea and they can be fence climbers unless there hot wire.

I think any dog could be used if trained properly. Some would just need more training and patience on the owners part.
