When i see the add brood female that doesn't hunt or has never been hunted I don't think now there's a houndsman right there. i think there's someone whose in it to crank out $200 puppies as fast as possible. but that's just my thoughts.

If you are going to breed dogs you muct have a open mind.All the big time dogs have fan clubs and all have hate clubs.

I have a question for y'all. If you had the choice would you rather hunt with the 2 parents or hunt with the 4 grandparents or for that matter the 8 grandparents. Remember only one of the above.

maybe im different, but i put just pressure of female selection for breeding as I do males. The reason is because if you look back at some power litters of past and the dogs they produced...the female was the key,,,,Harry and Abby....Jr and Dixie.....Xjr and Jane.....In the English breed when David bred Rock and Sandy that produced Hardtime Rocky,,,,SANDY was the key...she was a super nice dog that produced some nice litter....

I think if you breed dogs that are out of a whole litter of coon dogs instead of a litter that has only 2 or 3 good dogs you are way ahead of the game.

I'm talking about playing the percentages.
