I see what you are saying and don't discredit that at all. I'm fully aware of the accomplishments of him (ace) and his pups. Just saying I had bad luck.
OK, it just didn't sound like it when you said:

Had several out of him! Didn't like any of them. Ugly headed, skinny dogs that ran more junk than they ever did coon. Good deer dogs, they could lead any deer hound pack. Good luck with him...buy yourself a good shocking collar or two cause you will wear the first one completely out on it.
We can disagree about the direction the B&T breed is going in today. I don't even consider myself a Black and Tan man but I've got a real nice one and I think there are some good studs out there today and some nice crosses being made. Just look at the KY River Batman dog (grandson of Gauge, full brother to Ace) that is throwing some nice pups. I know because I've seen some of them. Batman is just 4 so his pups are relatively young but he already has 2 Grand Nites on the ground.
Just for fun I took a quick glance at the Current Top Ten Reproducers list in the March issue of Coonhound Bloodlines. Out of the Top Ten males listed, 3 are grandsons of Ace. One is a great-grandson (and his mother is a half sister to Ace). Out of the ten females one is directly off Ace; one is a grand pup of Ace on her mothers side and great-grand on father's; 3 more are great-grands of Ace.
Like I said, it's just my opinion but I like the Ace bred dogs. Everyone is entitled to what they believe though. I'm 100% sure he threw some cull pups. That's the nature of having pups, not all of them turn out. It's just not be my experience at all.
