no one has an opinion. i figure from looking at Bloodlines the the best reproducers are females but that is my opinion. females have a much higher percentage but then you can pick the right male and people will breed all their males just to make a dollar

No pun intended but the females will by far have fewer pups themselves than the studdog which is bred to a lot of females & if people hunting their pups out of good crosses title them that females will have a higher reproducing rate than males. Lets say a female is bred to a heavily used stud dog in the top reproducers list & has 10 pups & 6 are titled (3 GrNt&3NtCh.) than that shows her litter as 60%. This really makes the female look good , but doesn't help the studdog as much when he's has hundreds & sometimes even thousands of pups& only 10 to 20% at most for the top studdogs in history of his total pups get titled. Now that being said I absolutley agree with topcoondog females when it comes to making a cross for myself on DualGrChKings Mtn. Stylish Nut wether it be all grand or not & will keep pups for myself from these kind of crosses only & have never had any problem having one to show anyone interested in his pups or several locally owned that will gladly show them also. He truly dominates entire litters, but I am a firm believer in females & like hunting them & only breed a coondog female for myself.

hear is the problem

A stud dog is breed to every dam that comes in season not all these dams are good dogs or have good blood lines It is hard to judge a stud dog on his pups when he is breed to all of those worthless females that should be just shot instead of bred. If more dog owners would bred only good coon hounds to good coon hound studs they would have better luck. And that does not mean just because they have an all grand pedigree makes them a good dog. In my opinion some studs sire there likeness and some females are more dominate in the breeding pen. 50- 50 in my opinion.
