I feel led to post this due to the fact people are breeding trash.
Why in the world would a person claim to be straight up and take a trashy grade dog and let it get hung up on another piece garbage. COME ON PEOPLE TURNING PUPS TO GET MONEY IS KILLING THE COONHOUND BREED ,GET A DANG JOB STOP SCREWING HARD WORKING GOOD OLE BOYS AROUND.
NO WONDER PEOPLE DONT WANT TO BUY PUPS OR COON HUNT ANYMORE BREEDING TRASH HAS ALMOST RUINED IT FOR ME AND IM HARD CORE HUNT EVERY WEEK AT LEAST 3 NITES!!!!

The almighty dollar takes presidence over morals and integrity of the sport. Breeders are more worried about selling and making money than they are about building character. And to me good character can sell dogs quicker than papers. There is a lot of junky dogs out there with good papers that keep getting bred because it makes someone's wallet fatter.

Breeding has nothing to do with the end result anymore. And everything to do with how many grands are on the papers, and how much the next litter is worth. jmo - worth what it cost you

But your exactly what i'm talking about. Your very quick on the draw when someone asks on here who to breed to. I'm sure sid is a good dog, but allowing anyone to come breed is asinine. It's as much or more the stud owners responsibility to know what your breeding to. For example click on sids name in your signature. First thing you see..... $300.00. Not proven females only. And i'm not talking about championed females I mean real tree dogs.

Coonhounds across the board are going backwards, more so in the walkers and I was a walker man. It's up to the breeders to turn this around.

I'm not trying to pick on you, or to piss you off. But it's the truth, maybe you screen the females behind the scenes. I don't know? I speak merly from observation. But if something doesn't change a good dog is going to be real hard to find. I'm not trying to attack you in any way. But i am trying to be honest and sincere.

Just how many stud dog owners do you know that turn away a female? If you show up with the dog in heat and ready to breed they breed the dog and take your money.

A better question is Why buy junk????????????


If what you say is true then if everyone would quit buying it then people wouldnt breed it.

I just find it hard to believe people are breeding junk and making money, I dont think very many good breeders make money.

As far as asking on this board what to breed to, if you have to get on a message board and ask then you dont need to be breeding the dog. JMO

if you could breed coon dogs everybody that wanted one would have one...you have to make them...you breed to hopefully make the job easier...but i have hunted just as many good ones out of nothing as i have top dogs... they are just not nearly as easy to sale

I have been saying this for years and wondering why? I think when money is involved in anything then common sense takes a back seat. I have noticed that most people only look at papers and breed by how many titles are in the pedigree. I guess I am no different, titles do catch your eye. But I also have witnessed guys breeding total junk to a big titled dog hoping to get a world beater, and I feel there is also way to much emphasis put on the stud and none on the female. I by no means have this breeding game down to an art but I believe if you breed 2 coondogs then the result is more apt to be a coondog. If we were all more honest with ourselves about or dogs ability there would be alot less pups for sale and a lot less training problems! There is a lot of real good dogs out there in every breed we just have to find the right combination to better the breed instead of thickening the wallet!! I strive to breed right no matter how many miles are involved or how much culling needs to be done, like I said, I don't have it down to an art, but working at it! Coon dogs are kinda like employment, a hard worker is noticed and appreciated by his employer, a lazy bum is noticed by everyone and appreciated by none! If I ever find a shortcut I will be more than happy to let the cat out of the bag, until then I guess I'll just keep trying.

I've found that everyone's measuring stick is a different length. As some have said, one man's junk is another man's treasure, and until we come up with a unified way of measuring the true breeding value of a dog...folks are going to continue to make breeding decisions based upon all different criteria.

"Coon Dawg" means something different to just about every one of us. We base our opinion on our personal expriences and beliefs, and the only measure of success we have is hunt winners. I suppose that you could lump in "historical reproducers" in that category, but if you want to pick at that...it has it's flaws too.

I know we have a "super sire" complex. Well, how many people have hunted with Track Man...Rat Attack, Big D...the list is long but distinguished. Every year UKC produces a World Hunt winner, and the value of that title is not the trophy and the WCH title...but in the breeding pen. If the reigning world hunt winner is a male....females flock to the breeding pen, if it's a female....pups sell for upwards of $1,000.00

Few of us actually have any animal husbandry experience. It can't be learned from a book, but instead must be learned by the school of hard knocks. Trial and error are the best teachers. Unfortunatly, anyone with a receptive female is tagged as a "breeder" by the kennel clubs. Good business on their part, but many very poor breeding decisions are made. Every once in a while, someone stumbles on the right choice, and it keeps the hopes up of everyone.

My advice to the poster of this question: Why worry about what others are doing. If you have done your homework...hunted with the sire and dam of a litter that you might be interested in, and you like what you see....then the work begins.

when people have a litter of 8 pups for sale, advertised at $400 and claim they are not making a dime, I cant help but chuckle...

Stud fee $400 (if using outside stud)
puppy shots, 2 per pup, $128 (some only give 1 shot)
puppy food $100 (2 50# bags max @ $25)
registration in all registries $150 ?

$778 spent on litter max.
$3200 minus $728 = $2472 profit

if their own stud is used and only 1 set of shots
$264 spent = $2936 profit

Almost nobody makes money breeding pups...... That's the crock!
7in1 shots avg. $8.00, wormer for the entire litter for the entire time $15.00, dog food for the last couple of weeks $20.00 If you have a litter of lets say 8 pups @ $350.00 to $500.00 How is that not about money? If it not about money why so much? All of the medicine and food come to $100.00. 8 pups @ just $350.00 - the above mentioned is $2700.00 HMMMMM?

because the breeder WANTED TO........ Wanted to what? Make money! And if it is not, and they are just breeding to try this or that, than that is the reason we have so many POS dogs trying be sold to get some of their money back on a $350.00 to $500.00 pup.

This was taken off another post that I did... close to yours blue style

I don't see that many pups other than the ones I breed. If a person keeps buy JUNK where's it coming from?

I would think most pups today should make a decent dog if given the chance. In my opinion its not the breeders breeding JUNK as much as it is the buyers not giving the pups the chance they deserve and then cry it was JUNK to start with.

I still blame the breeder if the pups don't turn out. And again I say..

You use to be able to take any coonhound pup, and it be atleast a natural enough to put a coon up a tree.

Now, that's just to much to ask. The last three pups i've bought ranging from 175.00 to 500.00 wouldn't tree a biscuit.

No papers (AS IN GRADE DOGS?) Yes no papers, I don't need papers and a full page add to prove I have good dogs. It's proven in the woods and on the tree.

The sire is a good pup trainer for coon ,of a buddy of mines. The dame is a great squirrel dog haven't tried on coon yet.(YOU MEAN NOT PROVEN ON COONS?) Great expectations out of this litter. They are not registered, but I can tell you they have hunting blood. They both have rear dews if that makes a difference....

I guess your not use to a dog being able to hunt multiple animals accurately day and night like a mtn cur. Curs are bred to be able to hunt coon at night and squirrel the next morning.

And lastly the 100.00 dollar pup and add...... I had a litter of 8 pups- out of them 4 made it.... one i'm keeping, one was given to the stud owner, third was sold locally to a hunter, and the last is still up for sale for 100.00 dollars..... so if i spent 8.00 x8 for 7in1 shots. 8 because it's been given twice thats 64.00 + 15.00 for wormer = 79 and then puppy food which is roughly 20.00 ... stay with me now that's a grand total of 99.00 dollars not counting other items like cedar shavings etc. if I sell the other pup I am walking away with a grand total of 100.00 dollars and a lot of time invested. Boy I made a killing!

I making one third off this litter than you are off each pop of sid. And I know both dogs very well. This wasn't about sid, it's about knowing what your breeding too before jimmy joe starts selling pups out your stock. I guess the truth stings sometimes.

Maybe you thought you made a point, but it's still a money game and it's up to the breeder to make the dog. A real dog should need little help to make atleast an average dog.

Christy that is funny.If you guys dont want the risk of buying bad pups just by started dogs that you can try first.Even the best bred litters are not going to get 100% turnout.
