I would consider it yes. But it will be later on. Reason being the Stud I am using is relative new. Meaning most of his pups are less than 2 yrs old. I am trying females from different lines. By doing this I feel as though I am using several different studs out there. The females background, and family history is researched. If it fits for what I'm looking for I try to use it if I can. The reason I am using this one Stud is because I will not be able to see the full extent of his reproduction unless I do. He has shown me enough to keep going. I keep pups or obtain pups later and start them and hunt them myself. I also have individuals I trust that are hunting his offspring, I use this along with seeing his pups winning in large and small hunts to evaluate and make future decisions. I am not personally interested in taking a dog myself and winning big with it. However, I am interest in producing Top Hounds that can win big and please the hard hunting hide hunters and myself. I am very happy with the results so far and believe the best is yet to come. As long as I see results and continue to go forward I will use this one Stud. I have had pups from other lines that have nothing to do with this stud. I have seen some I like and some I don't. Most of what this stud has produced I like, there has been a few I don't. The females I use to cross back on gives me a bit of insight on how and what some of the others studs are producing. "IF" I only had 1 or 2 females that I would not get rid of then yes I would be using different studs out there besides the one I choose to use now.

I know kind of a long round about way to say yes and no.

maybe the problem isnt kennel blind as much as lack of funds and prestige in this breed.

I know several will disagree and thats OK. I believe we have what it takes out there now and have for a long time. If you don't show up to compete you can't win BIG or little. The answer to greater success is participation. Some folks think the Top Walkers are untouchable. Mr. Clean(walker) was defeated by Funky Monkey II in a four dog casts earlier this year. World Champ Mr. Clean was defeated by a blue dog. Why because Jason showed up for that hunt and hunts his dogs hard when not at he hunts.

This years World hunt. Over all the Walkers had a 23% success rate. Blue dogs had a 19% success rate from the Zones to the Finals. Walkers had the Blues out numbered by over 2 1/2 times the total number in the zones. If as a whole "Bluetickers" want to see a World Champion then participation is needed. Most who bet against the odds lose. Put the odds in your favor and highly increase the chance of winning. Don't just send a handful of the Top Blues send them all. I am going to do my best to see that we send 4 or 5 from here.

It's a numbers gap, not abilities.

As far as PKC hunts and Blues go they are like a drop in the bucket compared to the Walkers as far as numbers go. That's why you don't see many at the top because there aren't that many.

All the above is my opinion based on numbers.

Chris, im not disagreeing with you and see what your doing, we are in the same boat, she is by far the best blue gyp ive followed and we thought we had a replacement but she was stolen. So this could be her last litter and we are trying to make it count. We are not looking for a one hit wonder but the next generation of above average dogs. Her pups go to youth or hard to please guys like Bill Hubbard, Joe Moyer, and Gary Utchman has had a couple. Just want to leave no stone unturned.

And I'll say it again.

Are you saying you enjoy stirring the pot?

Sometimes when I get close to a stirring pot it has a way of sucking me in. I try to stay away

Justin, the truth is tough to handle by a few. I own, train, finish and bury the keepers. They don't get the frequent flyer discount from Delta. The hounds I hunt today came from hounds I hunted in the seventies. My goal is to breed for the best hound. That includes looks, mouth and ability. The hound I hunt only needs to please me when I cut it loose. I have sold a few that were super nice. When you hunt a hound 250 nights a year and get skunked less than two percent, you have a coon catcher. Treeing coon as close to me as possible is very important. Treeing one when sent is most important.

Thanks Dennis.

Joe Moyer says Rebels daddy was the kind and he couuld not get him bought. That itself stirs up my intrest in Rebel.

Im not saying the must go a mile every drop but i like them to be split, have a knack for getting alone, unless something hitchhikes, thats a whole other topic. Ill take that 25as strike and 100a tree every time. You live by it and you sometimes die by it, but i like to tree alot of coons fast. Thats where the big motor comes in, hunt on the run, slam brakes and jam a coon.

i understand why u want 100 for tree. what i can never understand is why everyone always want them alone n split. now dont get bent outta shape its a ligetiment question. the only reason i can come up with is possible dog not fast enough on track. yes it shows i dont hunt pkc so no experience. maybe another subject but i have been told this is the reason the blues dont win because they havent been bred for track speed like walkers have been for years.

Thats pretty much sums it up. And if they are fast and you can get them cut again they will usually be under another before the hr and there if you need it.

justin, you should come hunt with my Moose dog, he has a big motor with no reverse. I dont like bragging on a dog. my friend Troy, who is friends with the whole Mojo crew, Raxter, Raines, Engle. Asked to take him to a Pkc hunt, He drew out with a Big name walker man that owned a couple world champions, the kind fellow offered me 4 grand for that 6 yr old blue dog.

I find it amuzeing that people referencing MOJO as an example. I am not taking anything away from his accomplishments and his offspring have all done well.
MOJO did not win a world hunt to the best of my Knowledge. By the therories i read on here he should not have been bred to.

Look there are Bluedogs that are cabable of winning that is a fact i don't know why we haven't won the big dance yet but feel we will.
The bluedog in the picture below Beat MOJO on this cast and hunt in this very picture below!!! Gauge drew MOJO when they were competing 3 times. Mojo never won!!
GAUGE and MOJO prohunt


You are in MO go hunting with him, go hunt with his pups!!! Or look at the winning record of his offspring!! Breed hunts ,Young guns, National Bluetick days etc etc.
He has had the good fortune of having covered some of the best and winningest females in the breed and some of the sorriest. The common denomiator is a high percentage will make it.
Enough said I';; let him or his pups do the talking but go see it for yourself.

Ya can't get anymore black and white than that! I might add that ole blue in that picture above also drew out PKC world champion Magic trick 3 times in pkc and sent him home packin early 2 out of the three times he drew him. He competed against some of the best pkc had to offer and was an honest strike dog! Go draw out Big D and try to get an honest 1st strike, never happen. Big D will have it out of the gate!! Hemi, pretty much the same. Eric told me hisself that Hemi could beat Gauge on the score card but as a true complete hound, it would be Gauge all the way. Snooter, all I can say is WOW!!! Yes, she did alot of winning, how, GOD only knows!! Just to think I gave $6500 for her still makes me kringe a bit!! Guys, I like a winner but I won't feed an idiot!! NEVER!! OK,got to go!! Danny G.

2 SS WINS
2 TRIPLE CROWNS.
Numerous others.

NOT the world but still alot for a dog retired before he turned 3, i believe.

His wins and his ability to reproduce is why he should be bred. I like what i hear about Mason from several people, he is wild and trees lots of coons. I hear most mojo pups are the same.


Why aren't these pups put in more hunts then Bluetick hunts? If you have the ones who can win push them, if you cant afford it get a partner who can. Everyone wants to win with an underdog.

I havent brought up Hemi for a reason, she dont shut up from tailgate and back to the tailgate.

I know thery are out there just not promoted.

Perry Ross' Sally female is supposed to be a go getter that gets lowend strick and treed alone, they have had success with her.
