Bobby sounds like Huckfinn said it right if you have trained young dogs etc they will show it before they are finished in pen around yard etc How many of these dogs can you haul in dog box together.

Wouldn't a ruff dog be more of a personality and mentality problem than hereditary?

To me it's like saying Bonnie and Clyde will have children that will rob banks and murder. Or if two comedians have kids they will be funny.

I'm just asking.

i believe you can usually figure out which ones have a higher chance of being slightly rough when they are weaned pups. i never ever go for pups that act cocky, rule the feed dish or carry their tail over their backs. I dont care what pup i ever get out of a litter and will usually close my eyes and pick one ; but i will pass on any of what i mentioned

It has been my experience that some guys dont mind hunting a rough dog, and for some strage reason they ALWAYS have a dog that is a little rough no matter what its out of.

take from this what you want.....

Ruff dogs hurt good honest dogs and especially the young . We want to bash the silent ones , babbling , and breed to the mean ones . Once a dog recieves a ban for fighting the registries need to refuse to litter enroll thier pups

If you listen to people talk, nobody wants a "mean dog",but almost everyone wants their dog to "stay under any conditions",that is a large grey area......
It is hard to get 1 that will "stay under any conditions", and not be a "mean dog".....

I have seen dogs that were perfect angels around the house, or around people, and around other dogs, until food,or a dead racoon, or a tree that dogs are treein on, then these same dogs flip a switch and "flip out".
Most of this in my opinion is a bred in trait, sometimes other things in the dogs behavior contributes into the dog, creating a bad habit, like "nipping" anything that touches them, be it a owners hand, or arm, or another dog that bumps them when they are all worked up.....
After a while that becomes a problem, and it don't take long before their guard is up, and they are ready for a confrontation at every tree,now your buddies all are saying your dog is mean...
Some dogs are treedogs, and are sneaky about being mean, because some man has influenced them to be nice when the lights are on them.....And those same owners brag about how "he will stay ,and he aint mean",but he jacks the tree,he will fight over a dead coon, and if whipped, he will bite his owner,but "he aint mean"...

People want their dogs to win,that is human nature,and a lot of winners are perfect angels at the tree, but a lot of them "will stay"or "bleed to be treeed"!
So alot of it has to do with what some are hunting at the moment, and we all know if what we are hunting is mean or not.

I think that they can also .. I was at a local money hunt yrs back and a very well known handler and dog was in my cast . My dog treed as time ran out his female backed me we scored the tree and the whole time this guy was obviously pissed that his dog had backed mine so as we were leaving he stopped behind us and all heck broke lose , It wasn't very nice having to listen to this fella back there 5o yrds working this dog over . When he arrived at the truck I brought to his attention and he replied that she knew better to back a dog . So some people yes will do anything in they're training to do whatever to make a hound what they want . Now for the big ? will all dogs take it and learn ? No some will break and become shy or stop hunting all together or some will learn and become what they're masters want ..JMO

You will be hard pressed to see me get a pup outside of what I'm hunting now. They are what I enjoy hunting and I have good luck with them. Plus it's more rewarding Huntin what you raise

I will say this ... Many of you have had pups off complete alligators and probably didn't know it And even bred to them too based on their win resume and who owned them and/or how they were bred. I know of couple dogs local .... Pretty big winners and no doubt where excellent total package coondogs ... But no names will be spoke and if you ask anyone about them they will say total coondogs , but pretty ruthless. And besides I've yet to see ill pups off either of those dogs
