Gauge is a good mixture of Jet, Utchman,Smokey River,and even a shot of Spanky in there. I like this a great deal because it allows him to have great results with most lines. Having said that I measure great results as having a high percentage of a litter (that are givin a shot )showing natural ability to tree a coon.
Now I don't know what you are trying to say but I assure you that I dont feel that outcrosses within the breed are harmful!! I like to linebreed as well but everynow and then a little shot of a different line is helpful. Gauge is a product of Chuck Coats breeding 9 generations of good females to the studs that he felt would cross well with the good female he was breeding.
I don't claim to understand what makes Gauge reproduce,or perform but I do recognize that he does and I'm gonna roll with it.
Additionally if the female is a coondog especially a proven coondog I will be happy to make the cross regardless of strain or breed for that matter, because you never know where the one we are all looking for will come from.
Jim Hughes are you related to John Vaught known nowadays as Jason Trible???
