i am sure that all dogs have a cross breeding in their background. why do we keep it up with the english? because everyone with a hound with colors that can't produce a solid color to their specific breed can register as an english.
i think that the english should be specifically registered. period.
my mom, whom has been a coonhounder since the day and never owned one, has declared this also. you never know what it is until you ask.
yes , it will take a couple of years to weed out the non- standards, maybe they can single reg. as a blue or a walker, or whatever but not an english.
for the man about the lab's. you can breed a yellow to a chocolate, but you cannot, i repeat cannot, have a combination of the two, coat colors that is. either yellow, black or chocolate. they have a breed standard of color also , just like any other breed they have perfected.
just like the leopard hound or the plott.
i dont believe in a breed that has a lump sum of the non color configurations that it should be the dumping of whatever non color hounds that dont apply to a breed standard to be dumped into the english breed.
obviously, i have an english. with a blue dam. i will take my chances.
with all the talk on here about how far we have come as coonhunters and breeders of coonhounds that everyone will selectively breed any colored pup to the hunting hound of choice that will sell pups because you can always register it as an english.
this is a long time coming,

ps, did anyone see the rotten representation of an english at westminster??????/
I DID. i was appalled my breed was represented like that. no matter what the background.
WTH are you talking about? GINN? She's a gorgeous representation!!
The English Coonhound DOES have a STANDARD! It includes;
"Redtick, bluetick, tri color with ticking, white and red, white and black, white and lemon."
Now check out the Treeing Walker, for example.
"Tri-colored (white-black-tan) is preferred. White may be the predominant color, with black spots and tan trim; or black may be the predominant color with white markings and tan trim, such as saddle back, or blanket back. White with tan spots, or white with black spots is acceptable."
A black and white WALKER is no less acceptable than a Tri-color. Just the same goes for a blue ticked English. They ARE ACCEPTABLE and just as PURE!
You can breed two SOLID BRINDLE Plotts and come out with SOLID BUCKSKIN puppies!!! The pups are pure non the less. (Just not acceptable, which is total bs. ITs that way because of people BREEDING FOR COLOR INSTEAD OF PERFORMANCE!!!!)
Sorry for ranting! Just couldn't take it anymore.
