 In 1910 , hound owner and breeder, Alex Parrish named a young Walker hound for a minor league baseball player . That players' name was "Hub Dawson".

 Hub Dawson was sired by Sport in 1910. His dam was Fan Parrish and. John B. Parks was the breeder.  Hub Dawson was hit by a train while he was running in the National and his Littermate Alex Dawson was hit by a train in Kentucky. Both survived but this left them unable to Participate in field trials. However they both proved to be great Sires. They came from one of the strongest of the Walker lines,  Their sire From the Scrape line and their dam from the Arp line. A  1916 Red Ranger Magazine showed that Hub Dawson stood for stud service for $12.50 and Alex Dawson at $15.00. Hub Dawson  Sired two National field champions-R.D. William's "ED" (Hub Dawson-Mag) in 1914 and J.D. Chenault's "Cull"(Hub Dawson-Mag) in 1916.

  There are three Hub Dawsons that appear often in Walker hound history & pedigrees . There is the original Hub Dawson No. 406 (Sport-Fan Parrish). The second Hub Dawson is Obendahl & Mckenna's Hub Dawson No. 3859 who was whelped on Oct. 3, 1918 and was sired by Hub Dawson No.406 and out of Audrey Alford II.
