Wayne Campbell, Redbone Coonhounds
Biography (Breeder Spotlight)
Wayne Campbell currently breeds Redbone Coonhounds under the Timber Chopper prefix. |  |
I was raised a Mennonite lad from the mountains up near Stuarts Draft, Virginia. My dad was not a hunter; however my uncle Jesse Bridge was then and still is a really dedicated bear hunter and coon hunter and he had taught me a lot regarding the world of hunting.
I have always had a lot of luck come my way, and certainly to move from Stuarts Draft to Richmond, Virginia and just happen to end up renting a house from Max Hunter set the stage for the past 40 years. My first better than average coon dog was Campbell’s Timber Chip, which I bought from Max Hunter. Later, Max bred his Timber Chopper Bell dog to my Campbell’s Timber Chip and the unmatched GR NITE CH ‘Pr’ Hunter’s Famous Amos was on his way.
Years ago I used to competition hunt quite a bit, however at present I’m strictly a pleasure hunter and like to raise puppies, started and finished dogs.
In addition to Timber Chopper Kennels, I also own Richmond Respiratory & Medical Supply, founded in 1990 and Campbell Springs Farm Equestrian Complex, a boarding and horse show facility in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

The Redbone was the second coonhound breed to be registered with UKC, the first being registered in 1902, two years after the American Black & Tan. The Redbone is known to be a well-balanced breed, making them adaptable to various types of hunting and terrain. Their agility benefits them when hunting in fenced country or steep, rocky ground. Redbones are known to make excellent water dogs. |
