Now we got Tar thinking the way you and I have always thought. Lol. Serious, I think we need to look at what's best for the coondog cross and not keeping a line "purebreed" just for that reason alone. Some of the best dogs I have seen were cross bred hounds. I like the concept of breeding coondog to coondog way more than keeping a certain breed "pure". We got to where we were by cross breeding, and if we are to stay there or improve our breeds, we will have to cross breed again. Before the competition hunts requiring purebred dogs, out crossing was a very common thing, now the UKC has allowed crossbreds to be registered, you will see more out crosses between coon dogs of different breeds. When you breed the best to the best you improve your chances of getting what you want. I think the cross breed program was one of the best things UKC has done for the coonhunting community. Dave
Yes, I agree. I think we should start another xbred thread before too long.
