Matt, I did read your post and as stupid as I am, I still figured out that you have a dog off no-title dogs for which you are very familiar with it's history, which was the reason for my last sentence in that post. If you know the history without papers, then you don't need papers.
But if you look at pups outside your own neighborhood, you prolly won't know that history without papers.
As for possums comment that papers and titles are a cancer, well that is just basic crap. I started coonhunting in 1962 and nobody I knew owned a registered dog or God forbid, a TITLED dog and believe me, there was just as much worthless dog flesh out there then as now, actually more in my opinion. Ask anyone who really was hunting coons back then. There was also the exact same level of jealousy back then between the meat hunters and those who pursued the hunt titles.
Once again I have papers.lol..I aint gonna buy a grade dog..Im just saying I dont get excited about titles either way. If they have titles fine, if not, that aint gonna stop me from getting a pup or off of a dog if I like the way its bred and I know the dogs faults, and strengths. One of my females is off a not so well known grandnite champ dog and an unregistered mother, one of my males is off the same female, and a non titled heavy heavy old school finley river blood male in missouri.THAT TREES COONS NOT TREES. And yes I would put my dog in hunts. Like I said, I have nothing to hide when it comes to my dog. A judge, and time clock dont scare me.I would put money on trees with my female, and the mother of my female.She has a coon you give me money, she dont, i give you money. I hunt with one of the biggest comp hunters around, who has walked behind tons of good dogs, and has probably won over 100k with his dogs.That being said, they are dogs, just because they have titles dont mean they cant be beat by a registered dog with no titles.Also the man that has these big comp hounds, has offered me a nice chunk of change for my non titled female. Titles dont make coonhounds. Again titles are just something for a guy to brag up his dog, and say look at this..This dog is a grandnite, so it MUST be good. You have your opinion and I have mine, isnt america great.
