It boils down to the younger generation are too busy play with their thing, I mean smart phones. My brother and I ran a coon dog 50 yrs ago and it was fun. I still laugh when I think of that Blue Tick dog as it wouldn't walk across a bridge. We would have to drag it across. Once across it would start hunting again.
40 yrs ago I had a customer that had a 50 ft house trailer that he kept his coon dogs in. Heated and air conditioned. But at that time he had dogs selling for 8-10K which was the price of 2 nice cars. Go figure.
Have a buddy at work him & his 12 year old still run dogs wife absolutely can’t stand hounds and we live in the city so …
