You're right. I knew what the parameters were, but I didn't word my reply very well. If you took away the parameters for having a litter in the past 2 years, or having produced 20 pups, do you think the list would change by more than a couple dogs? I know next to nothing about the history of breeding redbones, but I'm here to learn.
Absolutely. But not sure it would get us all that excited either, ha. We'd see a bunch of <1%'ers.
Of course a person can measure the reproduction of "coondogs" by different standards, this is UKC's standard. It's a catch-all for every hound breed to benefit their hunt program and push a fella to keep a puppy mill. But any other measurement would be so subjective I doubt any of us would read it twice.
A fella could get a female 20 pups in as few as 2 litters, but then you have to breed them again once every two years, I'd rather eat tacks personally, ha. Then the challenge is that enough of them 1) go to comp hunters and 2) can make at least ntch. And with redbones, the margin just got very, very slim.
