You can call it what you want, but simple truth is the advertising is what makes alot of dogs. Timothy Ball is one of the best promoters in the coondog world. He has written adds for some of the best around. Harry was crossed with Abby, Peg, and several other females with awesome results. I wouldn't just hold it to the Abby cross that made him. It was Timothy Ball that made Harry. Rebel could have been and probably was as good a reproducer as Harry, but advertising and availability. Look at it this way, Bean, Cash, Ruger, and Stretch are all out of the same cross. Bean is being bred so much more then the other three. Why? Tim Osborne is no Timothy Ball but he has promoted Bean alot more then the other three. Would one of his brothers produce better then him? Maybe, but they will never have the number of pups on the ground due to lack of advertising. Just an example of how it works. Advertising sales the product, always has, always will. Word of mouth can only travel so far, pretty color adds get your attention, and internet is the best of both worlds.
All of that may be true but it does nothing to answer the original question. The two dogs never gave a hoot about the advertising and they most definitely were two very different reproducers and threw pups that had very different traits. Those differences had nothing to do with anything written or spoken by man or men.
