This is the KEY we need to unlock the secret of our hounds.

You want to figure out something about our hounds. Figure out WHY THEY TREE.
You figure that out you will also figure out why a lot of dogs now a days are not naturally good dogs around the house or in the pen.

You think they tree because it is a tree. If the tree was a leaning tree and they could just run right up it and fight the coon right there you think they would tree. Only the ones that ain't smart enough to get up that tree would.

Out breeding of hounds has increased the frustration level in them. That frustration level is what makes them tree when the tree stops them from taking the track any further. That frustration is what makes them bark on a fence when they run into one and can't get around it. That frustration is what makes them slick tree if they don't have good tracking ability and they can't take a track from a tree. The same frustration is in pups or dogs penned up and they bark and bark. Bark collar sales are at a all time high. We are breeding neurotic frustrated dogs. The same frustration that comes out in a dog when the tree stops them from going any further is coming out in our dogs penned up and chained up across america. Yet we continue to line breed and in breed. Funny how the all grands get the bad rap. Also funny how the all grands are line bred/inbred to get the all grand pedigrees. Chose you poison. If having a coon in the tree and a dog without a bark collar isn't important, keep doing what your doing. If coon in a tree and a dog without sores on its neck from a bark collar is important, then your need to take deep breath before breeding your next hound.
We knock the X bred hounds, they may be what saves us. lol

This is a two sided sword. I will be the first to admit that line breeding works and I will be the first to admit line breeding will take us down the drain. Wait you say I can't have it both ways. You can have it both ways if you do one simple thing. That simple thing is something we have put on the back burner and will be our destruction. CULLING of the genetics that need CULLING. I would say the majority of hounds we as owners have in our pens while we are reading on here how to fix their problems. NEED TO BE CULLED. We has a whole which is a breeding program if you admit it or not are failing.

Key To Successful Breeding

" IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT CULLING A DOG THEN YOU'VE ALREADY WAITED TOO LONG"

This is some advise that was given to me by Earl Lang of Kieler, WI many years ago that he learned from his Dad who raised beagles. Most of us don't use it enough!

I agree with Nr. Conley on this.

I've never seen the ability level of a outstanding dog improved by inbreeding or line breeding. This breeding method is a good tool to use for eliminating undesireable traits, but it is the only way to maintain traits that you desire. Brains and a strong desire to please their owner are the most important traits to me.

Beware: THE HIGHER THE IQ OF THE DOG THE LESS MISTAKES THE HANDLER CAN MAKE. They are not always as forgiving as your wife. Loose your temper with a smart dog and they may never trust you again.

Mr. Ken truer words were never spoken!

Most X bred dogs I've seen must be frustrated being in their own hide because they never shut their mouth.

most find it hard to pull the trigger on the dog they gave a weeks wages or more for when it was a pup .they keep cause its out of old so and so and breed it to a highly advertise big winner hoping for the next freak of nature .

Stupid language like this can get you in trouble. Do the responsible thing and spay or neuter. The media does not need any ammo.
