Rance, I will humor you once more, then dont expect a response from me again on a post like this...you have no idea what I do know and what I dont, I take very little of what I hear from other hunters at face value or as the truth, but there are a couple of older hunters that I will take their word for just about anything, on things they personally saw or experienced. When I make statements, did it ever occur to you I may have just a few people in mind when I make statements about breeding practices? And your right, I dont have a dog tuned up. I moved here when I got married, my wife didnt want to move far from her father. There isnt as much hunting around here as I thought, and my young dogs are not ready for hard huntin, this time of year, and my male is not fun when he is hunted alone, the same thing every night gets old. I own 3 hounds, one 5 year old ntch with 1 win(won 6 out of 9 casts, 1 was pkc), and two 12 month old pups. My male has won the last 2 out of 3 casts without being tuned up at all, he really needs to be tuned up to cover my butt and the mistakes I make, which he has had to do several times. You say I knock everything, yet I bet you would struggle to find me saying something negative about any dog or bloodlines. (go ahead and do your little search, like always, you wont find much) The casts my dog lost were lost honest, I have never complained of being cheated or short changed in a hunt, or made up excuses. We both made mistakes in the hunts, although most of them were mine. I go to hunts mostly to visit, and I have been to many hunts packing a hound, and end up going pleasure hunting with a friend. Oh, and for clarification, you talk about me not liking the hunts, yet going to them? In the last 5 years, I have entered in 9 competition hunts. And lastly, yep, I post a lot of pedigrees, and have many people pm me asking for help. At least I help people out Rance, what have you done for anyone but yourself lately? And from now on, if you have something off topic to speak with me about, give me a call or pm me, this isnt the place for it...405-240-0120
some tell you about their wins, some tell you about their excuses.
does the RC post remind you of anything i just posted about?
what about people breeding to the stud of the month, but you didnt want to go into names on a message board but were perfectly willing to if i called you?
what about folks breeding for the wrong reasons?
what about countefiet competion dogs?
the problem isnt breeding too much junk. its not enough knowledgeable houndsmen, not enough hard hunters, and not enough hard culling. when you look at how low of a percentage of puppies turn out, there should be a revolving door at most hunters dog houses. we need to be running through puppies like a single man dreams about running through women. the best coondogs dotn always make the best reproducers, so go ahead and make that cross just cull the right way.
a knowledgeable buddy of mine explained it to me this way, there is either a bunch of liars on this board or a bunch sorry dogmen, cause if it not, where do all these super pups go off to once they get alittle age on them?
take the Barrett brothers advice!
btw, you make my head hurt enough on here, the last thing i want to do is have a phone conversation
