All Grand...
There are no gurantees with any cross.
You can get a good hound with a crossbred dog.
Nobody is telling you that you have to breed to or buy an all grand dog. If you don't want to pay what some of the all grand pups are going for fine. If you don't like the fact that an advertiser touts the pedigree fine. What it tells me is there is a family of dogs that people took the time and effort to hunt and compete and make it a Grand. You can't possibly say that all dogs in an all grand pedigree made Grand by winning easy hunts or cheating or slick handlers. There have been some real nice, consistent hounds out of all grand pedigrees. So I could easily say using your reasoning that people who knock all grand pedigrees don't know squat!!
I am not color blind, I am not pedigree blind, but I am studying the bloodlines all the time and looking for crosses that have the potential to make good dogs. No gurantees, just using common sense to increase my odds to get the type of dog I like, we are all different and like different things in our dogs. So laugh if you want, if a dog is a reproducer or comes from a family of reproducers I'll check it out regardless of pedigree. Take care!
