Just my two cents, but it more of possibility that they were breed to a dobberman, to get them more cat footed for the bench. I've heard of breeders doing this.

I have heard of that also, I would hunt Black and Tans, if it wasnt so hard to get a good one. When you do it will cost you a fortune. I am just disapointed with the breed.
I like the looks of them, and the mouth they usually have, but cant keep them streight, deer and hog runningist dogs I ever had.

I am keeping one of the b/t colored females and I will be sending in her DNA to a company that tests the DNA and sends a certificate back to you telling you the primary, secondary breeds that are in there as well as anything that may be a mystery due to not having enough DNA to register a positive result but does register as something other than primary. I will have no problem in posting the results of this. If it shows something else in there, I will also test the parents. If it shows no other breeds than redbone, we shall have ultimate proof.
Don't know how accurate this testing is but I'm still doing it. I'll also inquire with various scientists to see how accurate they feel it may be and I need to find out how many generations of 'pure' it takes to register on this DNA test as pure.

The b/t pups I sell will be sold with a spay/neuter request.

It really is not far fetched. Redbones did not start out red. You're going to get throw backs.

We live in heavy deer territory. The deer come right up to the dogs that are in the outside kennels here (most of ours are indoors but we rotate the dogs). The deer come right up to our house. Drives my JRTs crazy but our coonhounds could care less except for one redbone male but then only if he's kenneled, never when he's been on leash or loose. I think it's boredom in the kennel. Zero deer running here but PLENTY of opportunities. We have red, english and b/t.

I have several old books with pictures of "redbones" that look more like high tan walkers than anything else--way more than saddlebacked. Unfortunately, the photos are in black and white so you can't see anything subtle about the coloration.

there is a throwback redbone that was sold without papers to a guy near me--no idea what bloodline--who looks like a monkey-faced b&t without pencil lines on toes, except that her "tan" is much redder than a typical b&t. She is a good looking hound and is built like a typical redbone, not a typical b&t.

Janet, I am giving the Black and Tan Breed one more chance, this is it, and its with a Blood line, that I have never tried, The Schienker Line.
I will be hunting a hound of this Bloodline this winter, and If its like the rest I have tried, It will be the last one I ever mess with.
I will give it a fair chance, I hope this hound does good.

B and T Redbone pups. Saw it 20 years ago, still see it sometimes now. Freaked out the first litter of redbones I raised, when first born they all looked like blackish and tanish with white stripe from chin down the neck to the belly. I thought a cur dog had bred my little pr female. A couple days later only one pup was black and tan. All the rest ended up all red with dark redish black stipe down their back and tail ( totally meeting redbone standard). The black and tan pup was given to a hide hunter.
Well anyway I've seen it come from a few different lines. Seems like some females when crossed with certain males it happens. Funny thing is first litter may have 3 b and t' s then make same cross again and all pups are red.
I figure it will always happen, the genes are there and they always will be.
I would not count this cross out especially if these pups make good coon hunting dogs ( I think several other breeders wouldn't count this cross out ).
Register the reds and cull or give away the blacks to the hide hunters.
Remember, some believe the black and tan and redbone were brothers and sisters when it all started years ago before registration and selective breeding. ( makes since )
OH, and some stud dog owners say " my dog has never thrown a black and tan, maybe true, but if the stud meets up with enough females there is a good chance he'll throw a black one or 2.
No big deal in my opinion.

I just left Branson, MO. Been gone for 18 days.
John just told me my b/t colored pups aren't so b/t anymore but "a funny reddish color". I'll videotape them when I get home and show everyone.

He said he would hold you to that. Says he's going to name a male from that cross Rip-Roarin' Son of my Bitch. His female looks like she has some black and tan in her already. In the picture, his pup is on the left and my pup is on the right. Both are shemales.

I remember 35 yrs ago when I was attending Cornell University (where they have a vet school) I was in the library bored (after checking out the chicks) so I was pulling out books on coonhounds. There was one written by a veterinarian and in the book he had the ancestory of the breeds documented. This may hurt some feelings, but in the book he noted the Redbone hounds as being decendents of the Black & Tan breed.

My guess is he may be referring to saddleback black & tans back when the book was written, probably 60 yrs ago, and when they had pups without any saddles, they seperated them and started crossing them on each other to get a line of red bones that later grew into a breed that had its own standard. If all of this is true, then I would expect that anything carrying some of those genes with enough dogs crossed back and forth that carried that gene would somewhere connect and give you some black dogs. My guess is that you would not want to make the cross with the same parents again, and find something that doesn't have alot of the same ancestry criss crossed 4 or 5 generations back. I am a B&T man, so I think those black pups look pretty good.

A local around here that hunts redbones had it happen. They were as nice as the ones in the pics. I believe his dogs went back on Woodpecker. This happened 20 years ago.
