I hear ya on that one. It was just an example of a trait that were genes that were passed down the line. Good subject to talk about thats all. Ive enjoyed it.

crooked tails also happens in beagles as well,and yes it is genetic. with beagles if its curled in a circle it gets caught in the briars a lot so breeders will clip them off as pups, with nail clippers to solve this problem.

I would tend to agree. Like mentioned above, I have seen this trait follow certain blue lines as well. I also saw many many Leatherwood hounds that where linebred pretty hard on these same lines and I cant recall ever seeing a Letherwood with a crooked tail

understanding

some may get a little confused. its not the line breeding that is the problem. it's the fact that bent tails are a genetic default and then linebreeding on that gene is were the problem lies. unless someone wants bent tails. in that case breed bent tails on bent tails,weather it is outcrossed or linebred or inbred in to the cross u will get what u bred for.

ur right some do get confused. I dont know how we got to talking about a bad gene. This not an opinion about weather this is true or not cause its a fact. After I figured it out one day I did some research with pepole that breed animals for a living. Horses , cows , dogs. And they also linebreed, but if they do they go back out on the next cross. Way out. Lets just look at the cosmetic traits that can be bad traits that can get sealed by going back to the same gene pool too many times or too close. This is what has happened in the line that ive bred. U start getting a smaller dogs as whole, Shorter ears, Hooktails, bad bites in teeth department, Bad feet. Seems like if u go too tight the bad traits and genes start showing up. If u dont believe me line breed inside ur own kennel too many times and ull see. That being said i love to line breed my hounds but i see something out there in a stud or a line of dogs doing some winning i go get it. our bluetickers as whole want to use their own stud for some reason and not go get what we need to beat the competition. We all know who the competition is right. For those who dont know I give ya hint. I can tell ya who it shouldn't be. One of our fellow bluetickers with a better stud than urs. Its amazing how people go thru this message board and not even click on and read about the dogs that our not related to theirs. We need to mix the best of the best and then linebreed back into our own gene pool if ya want. If we all think that way we will mix up the best blood and get all the good dominant genes so that the next generation we can stay in inside our kennel and breed back in our gene pool that has please us all these years and seal more good traits for the bluetick breed as a whole. Thanks for reading Norm

boys let me say this about norm. I used to think he was little cocky and thought he was just blowing smoke about breeding these blue dogs. Now after hunting with my female he told me to breed her to the son dog of ron taylors which I did and the most of the litter turned out to be nice dogs. so then I told him I was going to breed the same female to levi seman and he told me not to the pups wouldn't amout to much and some would be long haired. I thought he was crazy we are talking the same bloodlines right with levi being sons grandfather. well I be danged if them pups didn't amount to nothing and some had long hair. boys norm know these blue dogs and has produced some of the finest crosses the breed has seen if you want a blue dog that can compete. I will be hunting a jet 9 or airplane pup again in the future. It may be just crazy high percentage luck but any blue dog I hunt will come from norm or tom Jennings cause they know how to breed one that can compete on the big stage.

just curious how was your gyp breed that you crossed on son and levi ?

I breed the same female to son and levi and had good results with both the levi pups are less than a year old and doing a good job by themselves and no long hair on them

I have been told by many that the heavy jet breed dogs will have long hair lots of the time. I don't know this to be true, but have now seen some of it for the first time ever.

Please share with us what you felt was lacking in the dogs you had that made you feel it was necessary to make your outcross (s). Pamjohnson's advice and suggestions appear to make sense and are based on fact. Appreciate that while your own experiences may in fact be true, they are just that, and do not represent the breed or even a line of dogs as a whole. Poor selection results in the problems you list as concerns-smaller dogs, poor bites, etc., etc. and can easily be selected away from using the same breeding methods. So many people start out capitalizing off the successes of others, have success for a generation or two and then run into these type problems. Hybrid vigor is nice many times for the first generation but can also destroy everything just as easily. I will limit my comments to these because no one ask for my opinion anyway. Just be careful about viewing anything and everything as absolutes. Good luck in the future and keep thinking and trying.
