I'm the breeder behind Stackem Up Kennel located in Vermontville, MI. Even though Treeing Walker Coonhounds are my heart breed, I have 30 years' experience in all coonhound breeds. I strive to provide a truly positive experience! YOU must complete a two-page application & interview. I want only the BEST FOREVER pet homes!!
About Tricia L
My breeding program began in 1994. I have exhibited all 7 coonhound breeds for 30 years. I have been awarded 7 World Championship wins, along with many National and State wins. I've won at Westminster, the National Championship & exhibited in Norway & United Kingdom! I love the show ring since the age of six when I started by exhibiting livestock -hogs, sheep and cattle! I'm a licensed judge.
What makes Tricia L’s 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!

Why Tricia L started 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.
