3 good posts, 100 percent agree with you, just as you and I have posted are the reasons why we don't have litter after litter of top coonhounds. We ALL want these things, but getting them is a different story. Some things are pretty easy to identify as dominant, while many other things are less identifiable. Many things we actually desire may in fact be recessive or some may be mutations, either way they are things that are not easily reproduced. Not all breeders have the knowledge and commitment to breed generation after generation to see what traits are dominant or recessive, kudos to those that try. I strongly think that many things we desire or want in our dogs are in fact recessive and not controllable to the degree we want. Natural traits are highly desired as they manifest themselves with little or no training. A dog with brains can be taught many things, but taught behavior is not something a dog passes to their offspring. More times than not a top coon dog is a combination of genetics and training or learned behavior . We DO NOT get any of the learned behavior in their offspring only the genetic , that is the real reason that most dogs can not produce dogs like themselves. Dave
