Cross Breeding
It seems to me that everyone is trying to corner the Market for the Dollar!!!!!!!! I'm just trying to better the breed, is a Quote you see often, when in reality, what is mean't is, " I'm going to make this cross ,if it work's Great, if it does'nt i'll still get my 200, 300, 400 800, 1500 or whatever. If you own a hound today it is a product of cross breeding somewhere along the line!!!!!!!! Study the history of Coonhounds, Black and Tans to Leopards no breed is exempt. Prior to the 80"s there were more grade dogs than Reg. until Registries figured out there was a Dollar in Reg. dogs. In the 80"s The Redtick guys tried to seperate the Redticks from the Eng. breed to form their own breed. Don't take my word for anything, study history for yourself!! As for myself, I don't see anything wrong with cross breeding. The Eng. Breed has been greatly improved by it, Proof, Boyds Little Joe, Hardtime Speck and Jr. II. Single Registration has also helped. Color is O.K., but ability is better!!!!!!!
