each show on the annual tour. The PKC Walker Days show was certainly no exception. It can be safely said that the very best of the best hounds in the nation made the trip to Du Quoin to compete and compete they certainly did!

PKC shows are known for their panels of outstanding judges and the Du Quoin panel was put to the test by several tough classes of hounds including some super stars and some bright newcomers as well.

Jerry Moll of Batesville, IN, Chris Waller of Chrisman, IL, and Billy Huggins of Du Quoin, IL did an admirable job of sorting through the classes in the four shows that comprise a PKC/Purina tour event. Here are their picks of the day:
