You have just described the perfect dog. 
Let's look at two of the things on your list..excellent layup ability and extreme rough tracking ability.
In my limited experience, it has been exceedingly rare to find both of those extreme ability factors in the same dog.
Dogs that are real layup artists usually prefer that over grinding out bad tracks.
And likewise, dogs that really excel at handling bad tracks generally are more track oriented and don't go to the woods checking trees.
There are dogs that can do both, but I don't think I have ever hunted with a dog that truly excelled at both.
And another thing...none of the dogs I have hunted with that are truly layup specialists have been super deep, hard hunters with incredible drive. More like smart, busy hunters that check a lot of trees and don't blow through the country.
A lot of dogs that people think are hunting deep and treeing layups are just tight mouthed suckers ambushing pop up coons.
The Crockett dog is for sure a good hound for you to look at. He is a coon dog without question and is throwing big, houndy pups.
Breed a good female to him and you may get what you want.
Mr Carroll what do you think about Grace now that you have hunted with her? She hasn't been hunted in a year either. She is now 3 and has been layed up. She posses these traits and if you hunt with her enough you will see them. She is the only one out of that cross that didn't get the powerful mouth though. She got her mother's mouth for sure but you can still hear her just fine and especially since she will usually be all alone deep with the meat lol
