Don't know much about breeding dogs. Don't raise pups. But when I look for a pup, I really don't look beyond the grandparents. If sire and dam and grandparents weren't coon dogs I don't care what's behind that. If sire and dam and grandparents were coondogs I really don't care what's behind them. Again i am not looking for something to breed just something that will make a coondog. Now the problem is figuring out if sire and dam and grandparents were coondogs or just titled dogs and we all know there is difference. Just my 2 cents worth that's probably not worth 1 cent.'

Should have added a proven cross is an added bonus when looking for a pup but not a guarantee.

I like to raise my own dogs I like to train its interesting to watch a young dog do things it's grand parents did but it would have been cheaper many times over just to buy a good dog lol.

I'm not going to get into the Lipper/Rattler debate, because I'm prejudice, but I'll talk about breeding dogs a little. I was up in Indiana about thirty years ago to walker days my dogs were tied in the same barn as some of the actual famous breeders and hunters, I had an opportunity to listen and learn from some of them. Anyway, one hunter said that instead of running all over the country breeding your good female to the stud dog of the day, breed her to the best local dog, with the opposite traits as her. Wow, I thought, how dumb, you got an outstanding female you want to get her to the best semen available. Well, after all this time, I finally figured out that this guy was probably right. Where I live there are a lot of good hunters and a lot of good hounds have come and gone in this area, and like anybody's stud dog some reproduced and some didn't, but I see a lot of local dogs that have consistency and balance and offer many of the things we desire. I also get to see some out of other dogs and some of them are nice too, but they all have faults. The local ones you know their faults, the others you find, after you start their pups.
