Back to the original question...I don't care who trained, bred or fed the dog. If I find the right dog for a reasonable price he's coming home with me and I have no problems giving credit where it is due.
I like the three young dogs I have now and it's because of careful breeding and a job well done by the guys I got them from. I would recommend a trainer just a fast as I would recommend any of these breeders.
I will ask this question in a different way...if you found exactly what you have been looking for for a long time and the price was right for you are you telling us that you would you pass on the dog just because it was trained by someone else???
Don't get me wrong, I would very much prefer to be able to tell everyone that the best dog I have is one I bred and trained right here, but if not being able to say that still means I have a fantastic above average dog then that's okay too.

I have no desire to own a dog trained by someone else. I've been at this for over fifty years and never bought a trained dog. I always had a dog that could tree a coon. My favorite part of coon hunting is hunting a pup in his first year.

Name some that don't have over 100 pups on the ground. You can take a back yard dog and put 400 pups on the ground and get the same thing.

We as coon hunters focus on the end results and rarely ever look in depth enough to see what the reasons are and all the situations that made it all happen. No dog hauls itself to the hunts and no dog hauls itself to the woods.

What are some UKC dogs that have won big hunts yr after yr and go on to throw pups that won more than they did, and became a bigger name then there sire or dam?

I've hunted with $20,000 plus hounds, world champs, National champs, with my ole plugs and walked away more than once thinking "how in the world those dogs win them titles, let alone a cast", things that make you go hum!

Not really wanting to turn the topic in which dogs/kennel club is better or what have you, I just wanted to debate Rebecca's comment b/c I truly feel there are good reproducers that are stomp down coon dogs.

Thats sort of saying yes an no at the same time,when the offspring comes out better no where will it say because of handler,an im not disagreeing with what you have posted so far on reproducers because most dont.

What I was trying to say is there are dogs that win and win big, or a lot of money. That are not coondogs. They win because of there handler. Or maybe because there a babble mouth cover dog. Some people would call a dog like that a power house dog. I would not. But I have seen dogs that won like that throw off spring that were nice dogs and didn't need help to win.

Only difference is work would not be so hectic, and I could take the one I have to town more.

I would buy a nice female though, I'd say stylish Bella would have my name on her papers.

I wanted to say that but I have taken a personnel vow to try being less rude.
