I am maybe looking to breed a 1/2 brother 1/2 sister cross
in about a year if all goes well. Trying to rebuild on some old blood. What are some opinions on this, I am by no means a big time breeder just have always enjoyed a cold nose to cold/medium nosed dog that can drift a track, brains, desire to please, trainable not crazy wild, and accurate with coons not trees and some what independent
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a very interesting subject. I wish I could elaborate more, but being kind of drunk right right now, I don't want to misword or misspeak. I work in the A.I. industry with beef and dairy cattle, now with genomics some of the things we once thought are different. LOL I wish I was sober so I could respond better.

We see it in so many studs ...dogs or horses , the sire's daughters produce better and more of his traits than he did .... and in that case , he wasn't even there when the conception happened ! So contribution of chromosomes sure aint the main factor of the grandparents wouldn't even be in the picture

Did you see where I wrote that ? or do you just want to pretend i did and then argue with what you are pretending I said ? ..


Each parent contributes the same genetic material , yes ... but we still don't know what all is on the female side or sex linked ... and most everyone here talks about getting throwbacks or we double up on a dog like Clover to get another like him ... that would be impossible if the material itself was the main factor .. because Clover aint even the daddy to none of your inbred Clover dogs .


I did say that the explanation for why so many sires are proven through their daughters is because their direct offspring are still their momma's babies ... for whatever reason ... it's just how the Universe or Mother Nature works ... not every time or is it gonna split the sky with the news ... but it was just me chipping in with an aspect that I don't think most recognize when evaluating studs and their offspring ....

Look for daughters of good studs you like and bred to sons of good bitches that had a sire you like ....

I have bred my gyp to two nephews and it follows this pattern and I like it ... just something to think about ... another method to double up on a stud you like that follows suit with a natural phenominon.

If you think I said something , but don't see it written here .. then no need to ask .. the answer is that I didn't say it .... hope that helps .

Now with that being said, again remember I am not talking about genetic expression of DNA. That is determined strictly how all the genes pair up.

Any thing that increases our understanding in genetics is a worthwhile pursuit. There are some other details to consider when making a direct comparison of coon dogs and race horses. Two examples are a horse has a rider and speed is a factor of physical attributes. A coon dog also relies on physical traits, but not to the same degree as race horses. Finally, many of the better coon hounds display a higher degree of intellect. Breeding for intellect or behavioral traits is much more difficult than breeding for physical traits.

Push comes to shove, we would all be much better off if we would just increase our levels of breeding stock selection.

Dirtdevil,

Actually I'm not trying to do either. I am trying to understand. Here is why I am a little confused. I have a female here that I raised. She has been breed a couple of times to two differnt sires. Now neither of these sires are directly related to her, or I guess for that matter even remotely related to her.

Both litters of pups have been nice pups, and they as individual litters, they are uniform across each litter. BUT the two litters are different from each other. I know that they are out of the same female, but if I were to take you hunting with one pup out of each litter, you would not be able to tell that they are from the same mother.

I raised this female's mother, and I raised this female, and I'm now raising daughters as well....in each generation while I certainly see some similarities from the mother's side, I see vast differences depending on the sire, so I'm interested in what you are saying, but in my experience I'm not seeing what you are saying, or I'm not understanding what you are saying...one of the two.

Here is what I absolutely know to be as true as the sun coming up in the east..... If you have a female that is a poor momma, doesn't do a good job raising pups....her female pups are lousy mommas too.... Good momma's make good momma's. Had another female that was an outstanding mother, she devoted 100% of her life to a newborn litter of pups...willing to nurse 24 X 7 and would share her food bowl with the puppies when they start to experiement with food...right up until those pups were five weeks old...then she became the wicked witch of the west....I mean it..had to take her out from the pups to keep her from killing them. Her daughters are EXACTLY the same way.

I really am not trying to argue, I'm trying to draw a dotted line between what you are writing and my own experience.

Nothing new .. some nice dogs that we like just don't stamp their pups or dominate in the brood pen ..

Most lines that stand the test of time are built around dominate females from top sires that stamp their pups with a trademark ...

We see alot of litters for sale , dogs at stud and gyps on the TRL for awhile ... but for the most part , the ones that stand the test of time and who produce more studs and more daughters on the TRL are from those daughters of top studs that prove they are dominant beyond just contributing their half of the chromosomes .

Hounds are sorry bred compared to livestock ... you never know what you're gonna get ... because we breed our pets or favorites ....

When we start breeding dominant producers from strong litters in a row and building pedigrees full of them ... then the racehorse people will be on their forums talking about us ....

I have a friend that has raised Fighting chickens all his life, he has kept records of his breedind programs, he says you get your best out of daughters of champions,and then out of those daughters you get your next great males.
This man at 1 time could pull out carbon copies of one another,just think if we could do that consistently with these hounds.....

I don't know a thing about fighting chickens but I've been coonhunting about 60 years and my family was in the racehorse business in Kentucky. Thoroughbred racehorse breeding is controlled by the Jockey Club, they differ from other associations in that there are no artificial breedings, only live breedings are recognized and have to have a vet present.

Another thing that stands out, the Summer Sale @Keenland is where all the multimillion dollar yearlings are sold. If you want to sell a colt in that sale it has to be from a stakes winning mare, doesn't matter if the sire is the best stud in the world if the mother doesn't qualify they won't accept the colt.

As breeders we could all learn something from them, I've been as guilty as anyone else in thinking the stud dog meant way more than it does.

Look for daughters of good studs you like and breed to sons of good bitches that have a sire you like ....(dirt devil ) very true!!!

If you have a line or strain of dogs you like and have been breeding for yrs and let's say you want to make a outcross ,you are better of breeding your line bred female to a Prepotenant outcross male, cause you are more apt to keep a bigger % of the traits and tendencies of your female...
Let me also make the statement, as many others have already said ..when breeding if you don't like what you got don't breed it!!! Cause 9 times out of 10 your going to get what you already have!!!
My personal preference is to line breed heavy, but only use the best out of each litter...use the pup that has all the traits you want to keep...Period!!

If it don't have it, don't assume that just because of the way it's bred it will throw what you want..Cause it probably ain't going to happen!
Be selective in your breeding process, line breed heavy, but only use the dogs that have the traits you want to keep.

And remember," In front of every good stud Dog there is a even better reproducing Female". (That's The Key)
The Horse world not only believes this they enforce it....

Don't know much about the genetics thing but my stud dog is a dominant reproducer I only breed to coon treeing females with the traits I like and yes I do hunt with the females before I will breed to them and have no problems getting pups that are treeing coons on a regular basis at 7 to 8 mos old and I see my stud dog actions in every one of them no matter the female. I know it has a lot to do with the female but every once in a while there is a dominant stud dog that throws a vast majority of his traits. Don't know that it makes a difference but he has 7 double letters in his DNA and the pups that I have had DNA profiled have at least 6 doubles in them. But what do I know I am just a backwoods coonhunter but I have been at it for 45 years.

I breed racing greyhounds so of course like TBs we have our pedigree experts and consultants. The big thing is to know the difference between line breeding and inbreeding and WHEN to outcross. The old saying goes " linebreed, linebreed, outcross". Also when you have the freak in the litter ( there was a race dog named Talentedmrripley) and the rest of the litter are duds, don't go run breed to the freak. Because he is just that, a freak. And like Secretariat, freaks don't reproduce. I look for litter depth. Also it is pretty easy to tell if a sire is a sire of sires or a damsire. Many sires claim to fame will be through their daughters, not their sons. Also I have seen a race dog like Gable Dodge become the sire of sires....almost all of his great sons have become great reproducers themselves. But the daughters of Gable Dodge have not produced to their opportunities. Same with his sons. That is not to say you won't get an exception to the rule. The gene pool in walkers is huge. But there should be some dominant female tail lines that have emerged that you always want at the very bottom of that pedigree and there should be some top sire lines that you wan to see at the very top of the pedigree. You might do a 4x4 House bred and 3x4x4x5 Sackett in one pedigree. But you need to know what those numbers mean and where they fall in the pedigree. And the outcross is obviously the percentage of uncommon ancestors in the pedigree. We like to see under 8% which usually involves breeding to a Irish or Australian greyhound.
I know I am not a huge breeder of coondogs but I do understand analyzing a pedigree. I wish I could post some examples of a perfectly linebreed dog vs inbred. To linebreed the common ancestors need to both be at the bottom of the sites pedigree and the top of the dams in the same generation if that makes sense. I love pedigree research....so I hope I didn't totally repeat everything you already know....:-)

This IS good reading..was hoping to get other breeders of different breeds of working dogs, race horses,pulling horses, fighting chickens, etc..And that's what we are getting...keep them coming.

Blocksporthound- great info, doesn't matter if we all repeat something ,that just means we read it twice and maybe some of it will stick...

Everyone's input is great, it's all pertinent to the end product !!!

blocksporthound, would like to see some of the peds. I am working on trying to rebuild some old blood and am working my way to what you were saying about ancestors top and bottom of the same but do not plan on breeding anymore 1/2 to 1/2 brother sister I have a plan and hope it works out trying to get back closer to the same blood lines top and bottom but it will probably take another 6 yr's to get it back closer to what I want, will see.
Keep up the post learning a little here, like it

Let me see if I can pull up some good examples off greyhound-data. It really doesn't matter what you are breeding pedigrees work the same. I really enjoy studying them. I wish there was an online source like greyhound-data as we can do testmatings etc. Just like the TBs. I will see what I can come up with at great examples.

I'm a little confused, someone made the comment ( you all act like your still breeding for visible traits, or phenotypes...)..
Not trying to be smart, call me a dumby ...But I need to know what they mean.....At this time I base all my crosses on things that I can see or hear. For example - physical build, conformation ,mouth, personality, heart,desire,speed, track style ,tree style, bawl mouth ,chop mouth, trainability, type of nose hot, medium, cold, how early a big % of them start. How they reproduce, are the males better than the females or vice-versa.
I've hunted with or owned the parent, grand parents, great grand parents, and so on...I've Seen or heard all there traits good and bad, I've studied pedigree after pedigree, talked to other breeders, taken notes after notes..
But even after all this I still learn something new every day...So I ask the question again...what traits am I supposed to be breeding for that I can't see or hear...If it's a trait you know about or want. Believe me, you can see or hear it. Cause if you couldn't , why would you want it. What would be the use of having it...

Genotype is like the letters HH meaning dominant for whatever H is and you see it (phenotype)

The genotype Hh is dominant also but not "pure" and you will see the trait for H .. but for breeding , the "h" will come back on you later ...

What he's saying is the basis for genetics comes from plants or blood work or something where we can label the HH's , Hh and hh's correctly and find out what is what when we cross.

IN hounds , you can only go on phenotype .. you will never know the Hh from the hh from the HH or what trait is stronger ...

So there is only so much use we can get from the typical breeding models we study in genetics or whatever ... on our best day , we are still winging it .

Actually, that isn't completely correct, Dirtdevil. If you know the family history, you can create a genetic analysis pedigree.

Chapter 6 of Control of Canine Genetic Diseases is titled The Interpretation and Use of Pedigrees to Determine the Genetic Status of Given Dogs.
