I don't think any of us forgot them, nor did anyone on here state that a single registered dog, mutt or cross-breed wasn't talented or capable of being a real "coondog". You've provided a couple fine examples. And by the way... if Mac came from a Walker to Walker breeding, just one of them did not have registered proof of their pedigree, then he was not a "mutt" by definition. So that's not any of our arguments, either.

What we've been saying is that if we want there to be more breeds than a generic "coon hound" breed then we need to protect the specific traits that make a walker a walker or a redbne a redbone etc. So... we don't necessarily need to do away with single-registration, but we do need to manage it better. And that decision is governed by the breed associations. And if you don't like it, defend a rationale argument to the contrary. And if you are unssuccesful, sorry but that's how a democracy works. It's funny how some people will argue and get angry when a majority overrules them, and start calling them fascists or Nazis, but it's neither of those, it's democracy in action. However, if you got your way without a majority vote, that would be more akin to Naziism.

And the argument against cross-breeds, is simply it's a contradiction in terms. "Breeds" is in reference to pure bred or at least multi-generational. So there's pure breeds and all others. Splitting hairs on well, it's not a pure-breed but it's a controlled "mix" is trying to take a short-cut to being a recognized breed. Or simply wanting to dillute what it means to have a UKC "registered" dog, because then anyone could!

What you guys are asking, is for an organization whose charter is to:

"Our mission is to be the world's best registry of purebred dogs..."

to abandon it, and just register whatever you guys want. UKC is not a competition club, it's a registry club!

Perhaps I'm the only one that has read the Mission statement of the Kenel Club to which I belong...

Because what you guys are saying, is that you want to change the Mission of this kennel club. And, you want to change the mission of the breed associations.

Really???

UKC can still be the best registry of pure breed dogs. If they would let you register a crossbreed as just that it would help keep your pure dogs pure.
I had a walker X bluetick and was going to register him as english but he died due to a hunting accident before I got the paperwork. The way I see it registering him english would be fine because the walkers and blueticks came from english hounds.
The men that started these breeds were much smarter than some of the breeders out there today just like our forefathers that wrote the Constitution were much smarter than what we have in Washington now.
I say honor the croosbreed (mutt) and let the offspring always be identified as such and the croosbreed should never be able to obtain a PR on its papers. JMHO

Jonathon, I appreciate your opinion, but please help me understand it...

You want to register a cross-breed officialy as a cross-breed, meaning it's officially a mutt so-to-peak... why?

Is it simply because you want to compete it?

If so, why?

Why UKC, as opposed to the other options that already exist... NKC, PKC, local club hunts, etc.?

Is it because a UKC win or title means something?

And if in the future, anything can compete in a UKC event, do you think it will carry the same meaning???

The Strength of the English Breed has always been it Cross Bred Hounds or within 2-4 Generations of the Cross Breed ..


The English Breed was about Dead till the 1950s and it was reborn and aprox. 85% was added Crossbreed Hounds .. And it continued thru to the 80s and 90s ..

You Would be very hard Pressed to Find ANY English Ped without these Hounds in it .. And the One on the Bottom Was a 1/4 French Sanitongeois Hound .. The Same Hound Blood I'm using ..

Plus How in the World did Vanzants Sam Get a Set of "PR" Papers when he was only 2 generations of a Cross Breeding

So all these pure bred just fell out of the sky back in the mid 1940s ,,, there were no crossbreeds back then ? Jonathan you say that a crossbred shouldn't have "PR" status ,why ? I thought achieved "PR" status after 3 generations of known parentage . And by the way Dave ,I looked back and I didn't call anyone a Nazi or a Fascist ,,, I know what a Democracy is Dave ,I raised my right hand and swore my oath to protect this Country and was Honorably Discharged many years ago.

Chuck - if you go looking for a fight, you'll likely find it. But only that first paragraph was directed at you. The rest was references to others comments on the last 5 pages of posts. So please don't make this into something it's not.

And no, "purebreds" are developed over time. So by your calculations, about 73 years. Let's not start short-cutting it.


Steve - are you arguing that the English "breed" was reborn, or just completely redefined??? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but your argument sort of sounds like a "cross-breed" breed, already exists and it's called "English".

How would recognizing a cross breed effect any breeders pure breds. cross breeding is not something new, and some people have built a breeding program around them. I think all that is really being asked for is to allow them to compete side by side with the pure bred dogs.

Chuck there are single registered dogs with known parentage that dont get the PR. Give the purist something to hol on to. PR dont mean squat to me because I have never seen a set of pretty papers tree a coon.

Jonathon, I appreciate your opinion, but please help me understand it...

You want to register a cross-breed officialy as a cross-breed, meaning it's officially a mutt so-to-peak... why?

Is it simply because you want to compete it?

And if in the future, anything can compete in a UKC event, do you think it will carry the same meaning???

Why not register them where owners can hunt them. Are you scared to compete against a croosbreed? I dont care about competition hunting but I do however like the hunt tests. I may want to take my next hound to a hunt test but if nothing changes I guess I will single register him English. There are only 2 UKC clubs within 40 miles of me and 1 AKC club.

i don't see what the big deal. I don't think anyone has asked for crossbreeds to be registered as a breed, just be recognized in or to hunt in the hunts. they would be labeled as crossbred and there for the numbers on paper could also be identified as such. I think fear has lots to do with it. tree dog to tree dog crosses only. matter of fact you could even say that both parents had to be UKC registered or the cross would not be considered to hunt.
