I believe you and I crossed paths many years ago. Did you not have a Gr Nt female named Spring Creek Cloudy? If so, I had a litter mate sister to her. If not, my mistake. As for layup ability I have owned some dogs that were very good at winding a track but not many that could just lay one up with little to no track available. The best I owned at that was directly off of Broad Ax Blue Max. She was a real pro at it and did it quite often. I owned the mother to her and she was heavy Hammer but was not good at layup but had a powerful cold nose, just had to have a track. I've owned a lot of hounds heavy in the Morris' Blue River Boomer linage that could lay one up but their strong point was winding and track speed. I'm sure there are many blood lines out there that have these type of hounds but what I've found out is that not every dog possess these qualities even if they're from the same litter. I believe it takes a lot of brains as much as nose but more brains in my opinion. Good luck and have a good day.

Ron, I think you are exactly right on the brains thing, the type of dog we are talking about is hard to breed for they just show up in certain lines. The Bo dog I had was out of Russ's stuff and went back to the Boomer stuff, in my all my years of coonhunting and comp hunting you don't see many that can fall under coon and be accuate.i ruined young dogs hunting with that dog cause they had no idea what he was treeing. Most I see are either trying to wind and fall short on a slick or tree sniffin around the woods, this is were the brains thing comes in.

Yes Ron I had a female named Cloudy I pushed a little. Black and white female with a big mouth. She was a little better than average. Good to hear from you.

I agree that it takes brains and or desire to use their winding ability. The ability is there or it isn't. The desire to use it and the intelligence to learn to use it effectively are separate traits. IMO

I am going to do more research and breed for these traits and will find out. One of the reasons I am reaching out on subject is to learn. Didn't expect this much response and am appreciative of all input and respect everyone's ideas on the subject.

I have a female that I just bred to the My pup trainer he's old Vaughn and Utchman. She has the most winding and layup ability of any dog I ve ever owned of any breed. When you turn her loose she almost always hunts in to the wind. She a nice dog and has a great mouth. Her sire is Nt champ Harpeth River Jack. She is old Vaughn bred on the bottom side with Fouche River. I m excited about this cross as both dogs have brains and tree coon alone or with company. THEY are a joy to have around the house as well as hunt. Hope you fine a nice dog to work with.
