Anybody Ever Do This ??

Anybody ever take your Gr. Nt. Ch. female of whatever breed and breed her to a different breed of coonhound? And if so, how did that work out for you ?

I had a walker male a few years ago that was breed to 2 different English females. Not going to say ever pup in the litter turned out. However both litters had a gr nite out of each one. To be honest I liked it because the one I keep was a coontreerer with yard dog type sence. He was athletic hunted hard fast and would get deep. I could call him off a tree across a river looking at a coon. I did not even need a leash to hunt him. He's still living and is about 10 and still winning cast when they enter him. Matter of fact I started 2 off one of the crosses and 1 off the other. All of them would tree a coon. It seems like the hardest thing to get is track and the right amount of independence with alot of drive. It's been a long time since I've had a pup that didn't have the genetics to tree coons.

And yes one of those females was a granite English female. Matter of fact I think she was off the first all grand English litter. I just will say this. The hardest thing is to get people that will hunt those pups off any cross and be patient with them.

So what'd yall do single reg all this pups?

Well let me refraze that. I single registered the one I had. A buddy of mine keeped 2 he single registerd and made a granite out of one. The the one I keeped would tree a coon at a young age but started turning the crank about 17 months. I had some pleasure hunters get a female. She was making a nice dog and they lost her one night. To be honest I never had hot breed hot to cold and get warm outcrossing within the breed. It worked better for me cross breeding.
