Oh my goodness, is color the only thing that separates the breeds?
And I am getting confused again. Are you saying that there isn't a walker stud out there that can produce A+ pups? I don't understand why you don't breed your female to Shack or one of Mr Finley's dogs. Wouldn't that be an outcross without being a X bred? It sounds to me like Donnie Stevens might be right.

Coondog to coondog crosses used to be a common occurrence bred outside their respective breeds and they were hunted within the grade portion of hunts. After the elimination of grades they were then single registered as whatever breed standards they best fit. With the introduction of the x-breed program as a way to honestly register these dogs more crosses are being planned and made. All these dogs of the past and now present were by every definition of the term "hybrids" but how many show signs of "hybrid vigor"? The answer... few. The chances are no greater than breeding a superior hound within the breed than outside it. There is a genetic/environment ratio that always comes into play. There is much more that goes into it than just an x-bred hybrid dog. I could go into genes, chromosomes and alleles but lol.
Bottom line if what you are looking for is a dominant trait found in a different breed that that dog is consistently putting into it's pups and you believe that those traits will match up well on your females genetics then do it.
If you are going into making an outcross counting on hybrid vigor to occur just because it is a cross outside your breed thinking you will get outstanding performance and overall health/wellness you may want to think again. If this were the case the English breed would be superior to all others by a long shot and every fu fu cross made on various breeds of dogs would be much healthier than the purebreds which is not the case as very large long term studies have shown.
Breeding dogs is not like a scientist making a genetically modified corn or tomato plant breeding for hybrid vigor. You/I are not scientist and we are unable to isolate certain genes.

I really enjoyed the posts that you both have made on this thread. Your posts were well articulated and covered this subject matter in a way that anyone could understand. Finding that dog that suits us in every way is like finding the needle in the haystack, it can be done, but the task is very difficult. Dave

Tarbaby, just shows how little I know about walker bloodlines. I guess that I had better stick to Redbones. I have a one track mind.
Jen, there you go confusing a good argument with facts.

I think in many cases we hang the title of Hybrid Vigor on an improvement we see when the truth is. We just recovered some form someones poor choices and Inbreeding Depression.

Hello Mr. Lambert,

"Not a scientific effort," but then you say you have your own ideas, hypothesis, and theories. Why can't some part or even whole of what ideas you have developed over many years not be right? They absolutely can be. You are practicing science.

If you use selection to choose your breeding stock? You are using science.

Molecular Biology you can do experimentation, but guess what you can't see it. One could argue that you can't prove it as wel las argue you can prove it. The thing about real science is it always is a work in progress.

Welcome to the world of dog breeding Professor Lambert.

Did it also slip your mind that one of the best crosses on Bad Habit was off a bluetick bitch.....

Donnie, that didn't fit in with his argument so he "forgot" it.

Mr Atherton, science deals in facts that can be proven. My hypothesis are a little cloudy and just floating around in my head. While I might refer to some of my breeding choices as "no brainers", they are in reality only educated guesses. There is nothing scientific about it.

Donnie, what criteria are you using to say that this was the "best" cross off Bad Habit? Were the pups the hardiest and most disease resistant?

Richard I don't know enough to say it was the best cross but there was a real nice litter from Habit and a blue female (maybe more then one cross). Wasn't ole Sambo off just that kinda cross ?

I know nothing about hardy or healthy just about treein coons

Are we talking about hardy or healthy, A+ coon dogs or tired blood? I keep getting confused. I guess that I am having a bad day.

Here is a scenario on how breeding depression happens...

A breeder can be producing top dogs for many years...he started out line breeding from some of the best dogs that were line bred with some inbreeding...as time goes by he actually gets better results such as higher percentages of pups making the grade and some dogs that are actually better than previous breedings...but after 25 years he has been breeding dogs that are closely related top and bottom and breeding depression is now starting to appear...testicles are smaller...smaller litters, dogs not as big or as strong...

As competition hunter he wants a strong athletic specimen of a dog because he is competing against the very best...

So at this time he finds a top specimen with a 50 percent of his bloodline with a 50 percent unrelated bloodline that is a top hunting dog that basically has all the traits he likes in a coon dog...this is what will boost the hybrid vigor...

If that option is not available then find that unrelated dog and breed it to your dog and then breed the best pup back to your line of dogs...exact same thing but a longer time to see results...

So if either cross didn’t work get rid of the pups and look elsewhere and repeat the process...hopefully it will nick on the first try...
Hybrid vigor...every once in a while hybrid vigor lines up perfectly mentally and physically with the right hunting traits...such as BIG COUNTRY AND SAMBO...

seems folks are confusing that hybrid vigor will automatically create better hunting dogs...hybrid vigor can improve a dogs health and mental powers but It does not mean it will automatically make a hunting dog...you can have also have healthy cull...

So bottom line for me...if I felt like I needed an outcross I would try to find a dog that compliments my dogs in every way possible especially if it can improve a weakness in my bloodline...

Usually line breeding does not lead to breeding depression because many times we can have close relatives and no relationship in a line bred pedigree...
