Mr. McMillan, i don't believe it's a debate to determine if Cross-Breds are great or not. I respect your vote to leave it as it is. In my opinion, having UKC to recognize Cross-Breds as a breed, would not interfere with those of you who choose to own and hunt any of the breeds that are already in place. I actually think it would keep the Pure-Breds more pure.

A good breeder of top coonhounds just naturally could breed better hounds if he had all the great reproducers of all the seven existing UKC coonhound breeds to pick from in his breeding program !!

I just do not understand the WHY people feel the need to cross breed?

Everyone else is voicing their opinion so why not me. Why ruin what so many have spend their lives on? Why have uglier dogs? i understand that there are some outstanding cross-bred hounds out there, but at the same time you would not go looking to buy a new ford truck off of the lot with a chevy motor in it. kind of defeats the purpose.

What would be ruining someone else's work is cross breeding dog and then falsifying papers. Being open with breeding practices is the only way to be, and having a crossbreed division a would help.

I do see your point. I hunt curs that can flat get it done day or night. I'm not asking to be able to compete with the hounds. All I am saying is that don't limit a person from competing just because he or she choses to hunt crossbred hounds. I prefer walker dogs far as hounds go,but I also like to see good dogs work no matter the breed. I hunted hounds for almost 30 years before I switched to curs and I still handle a hound from time to time. Curs just fit needs far as handle and being able to hunt smaller tracts. And they don't pass up or run past game.

They came from the English hounds when they started breeding for colors. Hence they should automatically be English

have you ever heard or read about the Birdsong line for those of us who happen to know. we are still able to identify a trait on some hounds of all the colors...........well not going to write a book here lol
my own thinking is they should leave the ancestry's on the papers and drop the pr from the pups that would make it best. I know it makes too much sense huh? that would still qualify them as coon hounds just not purple ribbon bread

Every breed should register dogs that conform to their breed and will tree a coon for an inspector of that breed.
The two best coondogs I have hunted with didn't have papers.

I think that the crossbreed idea is great as long as the mother and father are both registered in one of the breeds, I don't like the idea of single registering any dog into the crossbreed group, the papers would just say crossbreed on them and by each dogs name on the papers would say what breed they were

249---for x breeds
172---against x breeds

I still say even if your against this for your kennel you won't be hurt if your buddies have them.
