Heres the thing, I've worked my share of hounds, what we're looking for is a hound that can tree a coon and compete. Do you know how difficult it is to roll those two things into a hound. I hunted hard all my life four or five nights a week or more, depending on what was going on in life at the time. I turned lots of spotted dogs loose, from all kinds of breeding. This what I learned, I can count on one hand all the great ones, there were lots that could tree a coon, but most couldn't compete on a national level, lot of them could on a local level. Now if you're a serious coon hunter, maybe you were like me, I was concerned with what that dog did when I turned him loose at night, until I loaded him in the box to go home. In his off hours I could care less what he did, if he slept all day, fine, if he paced the pen, I had good welded wire kennels with concrete floors and tops, he wasn't going any where. If he chewed his water bucket, I bought stainless steel ones, he couldn't chew up. If he barked, I lived in the country, no one cared, or I had several methods of fixing that, one of them usually worked. So kennel manners is the least of my worries, I can put up with a lot of things from a hound, if he can consistently tree coons.
