-- What Was/is The Most Over-rated Stud? (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=89680)


Posted by Justin Smith on 04-01-2006 05:53 PM:

Lipper has to be the leader among over-rated studs .


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-01-2006 06:47 PM:

if we fed all the info into a computer, i.e. wins, biggame, country coon dogs, early starting, bad handlers,etc. as bad a product that we are produceing as a whole, the comp. would melt down.

I know that your statement sounds very knowlegable, but in reality, if that statement is true then the only reason any stud(not just walker studs) reproduces is because of the female. Which i dont entirely believe,



Fair enough, in some schools of thought the gyp is more important than the stud. Also, I know that some studs produce better females than males. I think that an example of this in hounds would be Tenn. Lead II. What I am also saying is that how a stud is graded may have more to do than just what he produces in the first generation.

I have studied a lot of pedigrees with Nailor in them, and to tell you the truth, I don't remember seeing any recent pedigrees that are line bred to him. I also don't recall talking to anyone who shared with me that he was an accurate tracker and treeer or reading any accounts of how he really hunted other than those that said he was silent on track. These Nite Hunts are not the sole way to judge the quality of a hound or of the offspring that he produced.

We can develope criteria for judging a hound's production, but in the end there will always be some amount of subjective judgment involved. Is the Walker brand better off with or without Nailor's contribution. I think that his influence has not been positive and I think we would have been better off without his contribution.

Someone else is banging on Lipper as being overrated. I guess we each have an opinion, but I know that a fair amount of us concur on Nailor. I can personally tell you that the Nailor hounds I have personally dealt with were subpar in my judgment in many ways.

i'll just say that as far as what pups go to big game hunting, dogs that are just pleasure hunted, pups that are showing great promise but get killed at a young age, and bad females. these are things that can be said about all male studs. percentages DON"T LIE and are, in the end what a stud dog should be judged by. and i for one think the ukc's percentage chart is one of the best things they have ever done. so all the stud dog owners can blow as hard as they want, print all the two page color ads the want, and talk about all the "all grand pappers" they want,but in the end they will all be judged by that little chart in the back of the bloodlines book. just my two cents

I for the life of me don't understand why you make all these wild statements, with no facts to back them up.
I knew you were a self proclaimed expert on breeding and training Hounds.
But now you are going to tell us how to raise race horses, cattle and bucking bulls. I have raised hounds, race horses, cattle all my life and I am a long ways from being an expert. But I did not ride into town on a cabbage truck and I can darn sure spot a blow hard when I see one. I would like to ask you two questions.
1. Have you notified these people that raise bucking bull, and let them know how they are wasteing all this money buying frozen semen from the top bucking bulls?
2. How old are you?

Just the other week on on PBR they were talking to the Breeders were the PBR bucking bulls come from. They were the ones talking about the 80% performance themselves. And yes I grew up at the race track. Padocking and training was my 1st job as a kid. I spent 5 yrs at at raceway park, Northfield park and Scioto downs.


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-02-2006 06:00 PM:

PLEASE! your talking about standard breds, {pull a cart}. i bred trained, raced, drove,{A LICENCES}. since the early 70's, at the meadows, windsor, all over ohio, meadowlands, etc.. THE WORST BREEDING PROGRAMS IN THE WORLD WERE RUN BY THE STANARD BRED PEOPLE! why do you think it took YEARS to produce any thing with speed. just like brood gyps that are not proven or hunting titled gyps, that are not proven in the pen. they used the same methods. HOW COME ALL THE GREAT FOUNDATION AQHA SIRES ARE IN AND LINE BRED TO CERTAIN STUDS? go with what YOU are comfortable with, for me i'll go another route.

are they all overrated? we should think so if we compare them to other species breeding programs. we try for alot of traits but so do other breeders of animals.


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-02-2006 06:17 PM:

too much dollar, noy enough CULLING[me included]


Posted by ERIC W MUELLER on 04-02-2006 06:24 PM:

mike...

i guess i don't know what info you are talking about? just wondering what you had in mind, as far as x.y.z and so on.


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-02-2006 06:35 PM:

i might not be making myself clear, are the % based on just nite records? i don't know. of course i might of misunderstood what you are saying. getting old and slow! LOL


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-02-2006 06:41 PM:

IT'S JUST THAT THERE are so many factors involved besides breeding that efect our opions on certain strains. HECK I SURE DON"T HAVE THE ANWSER!


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-02-2006 06:42 PM:

This is amusing to me. Everyone is sooo quick to spout at the mouth about Sackett Jr, Nailor, Lipper, Rat Attack being over-rated. These are the dogs that are the leading reproducers!! How are they over-rated then? By percentages they are the best!!! I guarantee every stud out there gets bred to waaay more pot-lickers than they do coondogs. That's the biz though I guess. Just because you happen to not care for a particular line, or hunted with a few sorry dogs out of one dog, does not mean they are over-rated. Over-rated would be a dog that is spouted as being the best, then never throws a thing and just kinda vanishes after a year or so. Or one that is always promoted and never throws anything. An example would be Sackett's Tuff Company Rocket. You see him in the front of the book every month, 2 magazines. I have never seen a dog out of him that I liked, and he's right near me!! There's a pile of pups out of him, and they get hunted, but he certaintly isn't reproducing winners!

You find out what kinda people talk on this boards with the trash they are talking.
How can you say Rooster was overated?

He changed the make up of the english breed.

Some of the other top names are being named, and they are the leading producers of WINNERS of all time. HOW>

Hardwood Dan

A dog that was heavily promoted and advertised 15 years ago and reproduced a good number of offspring was a hound known as Gr. Nite Ch. Hardwood Dan. Ole Dan was one of the best when it came to treeing coon, so good good he won the Purina Award twice with stiff competition when it was a cut throat game. Dan never reproduced his likeness.

from what i have read on this thread i doubt if their are many on hear that are qualified to make a judgment call on any dogs mentioned. i will guarantee you that they don't all turn out, and yes their are dominant producing indaviduals. (male and female)
i think your time would be better spent studying and listening to people who acctually do know somthing ,than to come on here and bad mouth sombody and their dogs, and pointing out what little you know. jmo

It's really hard to say a dog is over rated as a stud without knowing the quality of females that were bred to him. It's true that a lot of the heavily promoted stud dogs got a lot of good females bred to them, but also everyone with a cull female that wanted to sell pups, bred to him as well. I would imagine that in the case of most well known dogs, they were bred to just as many culls. JMO
