most walkers get bigger than 50-60 pounds at least the ones here in new england. The males are about 100 pounds and the females are about 80 pounds. I have redbone coonhounds, and had a redbone walker cross that i adopted out. Hounds are a blast, but can be as smart (or uh..dumb) as thier owners, so read up, and get training. They are never to young.
