Summary

In this episode Steve visits with Tom Hopkins of Marshall, Texas.Tom owned, trained and handled what was perhaps the most famous Treeing Walker Coonhound in the history of coon hunting, the immortal House’s Lipper. Lipper distinguished himself in competition and in the breeding pen by winning major championships and by producing more that 5000 pups, not including those that were born through frozen semen breeding.   Lipper’s record in that regard is most likely never to be broken. Lipper was making news before he was a year old and won the prestigious PCA National Championship, the prize package of which included a pickup truck, dog box and other related awards at less than two years of age.  He is the youngest Dual Grand Champion (Nite Hunt and Bench Show) on record. Steve, in this episode, persuades Tom to share the Lipper story from the first coon he treed at about seven months old to discussions about several notable Lipper offspring including House’s Lawyer, Adios Lightning, House’s Clint and House’s Cash.  If you are coonhound history buff this is the episode for you.   “Dog talk at its finest, Walker-style.”  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.
