Well there are some who believe Sackett Jr would have reproduced just as well if he had never seen a coon. They might use that train of thought to justify breeding a female that is bred the way they like even if she hasn't performed in the woods. Not saying I agree, just saying that might be what some are thinking.

Jim, my honest opinion is very near to what you posted concerning Sackett Jr. The act of hunting a dog doesn't change their genetics nor will it determine how a dog will produce. I believe that the act of hunting a dog and finishing them to about %90 simply allows us to see what they are. The gentics were there to begin with but now we have a better understanding of what exactly they are, thus allowing us to make better breeding decisions. But, why run the risk of using a female that you know absolutely nothing about other than what a paper says? Now do the same with a "brood female's" daughter and I feel that within 2 generations, you can be a long ways from what the pedigree says. Of course, if there were Sackett Jrs for all of us, it wouldn't matter. lol
