Maniac, I agree their all products of crossbreeds in their creation.
I just don't undertsand the folks who say no to crossbreeds and don't want them hunting with registered dogs when crossbreeds are already able to through single registrations -- not only get registered but also have full breeding rights.
Take the B&T breed -- no known pedigree is needed to get single registered.............B&T breed as been well established for many years -- why introduce a dog that has more than hounds in it's pedigree into the breeding ranks of the B&T today?
I think a crossbreed program could also help slow down false papers (notice I didn't say STOP) as there would be an avenue.
I guess my thinking is if you want to be a pure dog registry -- why allow the single registrations and unpure muddy dogs in the breeding ranks?
Don't get me wrong.........I have owned grade, registered, and crossbreed.
There was a time when I owned more grade than papered. Right now is the only time I have not had a grade dog here at the house............I reckon that is only because I fool around with hunting Bassets these days and own more Bassets than coonhounds right now.
It would not matter to me if they looped all coonhound breeds as 1 -- kinda like beagles and bassets--- every color you can imagine, yet considered the same breed..............as basically color is really the only difference and what the fuss is about like with too much white on B&T;s, buckskin on Plotts, and etc..
At the end of the day, their just hounds -- color is just a variety.
