Can a treeing walker be trained for squirrel hunting?

I'm getting a female treeing walker pup and I wanna try training it for squirrel and coon. Can it hunt squirrels or just coons?Can a treeing walker be trained for squirrel hunting?
It makes an excellent squirrel dog, and can be trained to hunt coon at night and squirrel in the day time. I have friends that have used them is just such a manner. They are a great hunting dog. They are a fast hunter and will roam pretty far when hunting.It will be good exercise to keep up with her. But the females are not as far ranging as the male. Congratulations on the pup you're getting!Can a treeing walker be trained for squirrel hunting?
i have a walker male and i use him for coon hunting only. Most states have certain breeds that can hunt squirrels and big game. i would check with the game commission to see if they allow walkers to hunt squirrels in your state. Beagles are rabbit and squirrel dogs. It might not be a good idea to allow the dog to hunt more than one animal, because then it could turn into a junk dog and run off game.Good luck with your new dog.
