Breeding
The first thing you have got to know is whats behind your hounds.
I'm not talking about names, I'm talking about mouth, and ability, looks,and temperment ( every move they make and how they think) you need to breed from the same line, hounds that have those traits you are trying to enhance.
If you breed a female to a male of the same bloodline they need to have the same good traits as the dog in their bloodline that you are trying to enhance.
If the female is like her dams side of the family and the male is like his other side you are not helping anything.
Breed to like individals that you are wanting to improve and line breeding will work.
breeding father to daughter, grandfather to granddaughter is line breeding,,, breeding brother, sister, uncle to niece is inbreeding.
I had all my years of college years with one of the best Agri. teachers there was., He was a genius in genetic breeding and produced one of the most successful Holstien herds in the world at College of the Ozarks in Branson, Mo.
He and I put together and a cross that produced twin heifers "Nell" and "Bell" in 37 shows they were GR. Ch. or Reserve Ch. across from each other in every show.
Line breeding has worked for us with old " Table Rock Hawk " and "Gold creek Mundo" breeding, and it did for John Wade and the "Comanche" line. Now we are putting the two together.
We like what we are doing with these pups, we are getting big mouths, that that tree young AND HAVE A COON. We will let you all be the judge of their looks.
