Really???
Have to "look houndy"---
Didn't think "looks" made a coondog!
I am getting confused on all this?
So, to BE SURE that you have a TRUE X bred coonhound, Both parents would have to be PR Register in their own breed. Because if they are not, well you could be bring in say a Dob into the Black and Tan world.
If this was the case, parents being PR bred, then on X Bred "hounds" they could but the % of each breed as they do in the Running Hounds. Example: Treeing Walker 1/2 Black and Tan 1/2. Or Treeing Walker 1/4 Black and Tan 1/4 Redone 1/2?
From what I've been reading not many, if any, plan to do this long enough to bring it back into their breeding program. And if you're a hunter that doesn't care about papers you probably already have been doing this for a long time??
An example that come to me is a Government Hunter in Utah by the name of Phil Taylor. Got to meet him at a Breed Hunt in Wi years ago, he was hunting some of the best big game Redbones that where of the purest of blood. He kept outstanding records and could go back on his hounds as far as you would like, he bred his best to his best. But he didn't Register many. Here's the problem I see---Today I would get a pup from Phil, it would have to be registered X Breed, years ago it could have been single registered. Now, if you're a breeder and lets use Max Hunter, Roy Blakesley or Norman Lufcy, guys who knew what SINGLE REGISTERED really was suppose to be, they could bring in a hound and improve their line. Oh in case you gun ho breeders that have a mix bred "wonder" dog, there was always a cast to hunt them in---it was called GRADE!
So if pup/dog only has to look houndy and doesn't have to tree a coon, at least they did to get single Registered, you are really breeding for looks and isn't that what you true hunters been complaining about for years??? You darn SHOW people are going to wreck this sport😂😂😂
