I've read through three pages of posts and seen some very good points made, but I'm not sure what we're trying to acheive?
If you just want to compete, go to a local club or buddy hunt. If you want it to be a more sanctioned event, go to an NKC hunt, that has some pretty liberal standards. Or it sounds like PKC has a methodology, as well.
But if you are wanting to "register" dogs, then either breed two dogs of the same breed together, or if you have some great idea on a new breed, then devote your life to helping develop a new breed. But "breeds" and registration of breeds, should mean something. It's an attempt at a purification of certain traits (I did say attempt). It's the acknowledgement of those desired traits, as something we want to maintain and repeat.
If you want to breed mixed hounds... do so.
If you want to compete your mixed hounds... hold a buddy hunt.
But why would we ask an organization whose whole purpose is "pedigree", to sanction the exact oppposite?!?

Very well said sir!
This topic sprang up from some heated conversations on the redbone forum. The redbone breed, like the bluetick breed and others do not allow known crossbreeds to be single registered as redbones...for the reason you just stated. They are making an honest attempt to keep the breed as pure as possible.
Well, it has become evident that there are a few who wan't to crossbreed rebones with other breeds and because of their color dominance some of the pups will look enough like a redbone that it could pass the looks portion of the breed standards....so they want to see the redbone association rule against registering known crossbreeds as redbones overturned and opened up so that any crossbreed that looks the part can be registered as a redbone. I have disagreed with this as have many others and do not want to see all this foreign blood allowed into the redbone breed through dogs that "look the part".
I think it goes against what most breeders have been trying to do for over 100 years in this and other breeds which is to breed for not only a certain color standard...but certain traits and characteristics that are unique to each breed when those breeds are kept pure. Granted...there are those who get around the rule and will lie or place false papers on a crossbreed and it winds up in the mix anyway...but most honest people won't and do not respect those who would stoop to such a thing.
So that is a little history behind this thread and topic...hope it makes a little more sense of the way some have responded to it....Shane
