Mr.Richard Lambert

Richard since you have bred the same gyp multiple times do you see much difference in each litter or do you think you are getting virtually the same results influenced thru the females side of the pedigree??

Every litter has been different. But they do have one thing in common. Most of them have big mouths and tree coons.

WHAT DOES THE FEMALE HAVE TO DO WITH THE OUTCOME

I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND THAT SAYS THE PUPS ARE A RESULT OF THE REPRODUCING MALE AND THE FEMALE HAS NOTHING OR VERY LIL TO DO WITH HOW THE PUPS TURN OUT..

HE IS A WELL KNOWN BREEDER OF REDBONES AND SAYS HE HAS CONTINUED HIS LINE THRU HIS MALES AND THE FEMALE PLAYS NO ROLL OR VERY LIL...

I DONT AGREE AND IN FACT I BELIEVE TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE...

Pups

I honestly think it is about 50/50. The reason I believe that is if one or the other was dominate then it wouldnt matter what you bred too. For example if it was 70% female and 30% male if you had 10 pups 7 of them would be the same as the female so wouldnt that mean if you bred her to your yard dog that you should get 7 pups just like her? It would be the same with the male. A old wise man told me once if you wanted the best you had to go to the head of the stream. I believe in breding coon dog to coon dog and I just made a coon dog to coon dog cross. If the female stuck they will be some good ones

Theoretically, the female contributes 50% of the genes in a pups makeup. But the female has dominant and recessive or hidden genes that don't show up. So you don't really know what she is going to contribute. Now when the female is linebred she "should" have more dominate genes. So theoretically she should produce more uniform pups. But since the male also contributes 50% of the genes, you never really know for certain what you are getting from his side.
Another thing that you can look at though is what the females littermates are like. This can give you an idea of any hidden genes or traits she may have. This is why some people look for "families of coondogs" when picking a pup.

When breeding, there are theories that make sense and should work. There are theories that seem to work. But none of them are "proven" to work. There are a lot of them to choose from. Everyone has their own or a combination of several. But in the end they are only theories which are just educated guesses so who is to say which theory works best?
