Ron put the ped of the pups off Kate II and then shakers also both good examples of Kelly's method and are out crosses

Mike always in joy your input and have been a big help to me you and the Rust kd guys have a few crosses that match Kelly's method also
Im Shore there is a lot more
Keep it going

I have no idea if any of this is right but when you look back in different pedigrees of litters that produced more than one good dog you will see the pattern start to show.
with that in mind it makes me believe that the traits we want are in the genes and it's the same gene expression each time it shows up in a dog regardless of line.
So... I am guessing that even when we make an outcross with dogs that are bred using this method "both sides S-cross" the results will continue to be very good because it's the higher % of expression we want. In other words Richard ,I believe we could take one of the S-cross pups you have {as long as it shows the expressed traits we want} and cross it on an S-cross pup I got that expresses the same traits and we will have a high % litter even though it's an outcross. See the traits are tied to the genes and dogs that have an abundance of the correct traits will more easily repeat those traits when crossed with a similar type of dog. keep in mind most all of these hounds go back to the same 3or 4 great dogs of our breed so those same genes are in there no matter the line.

Did I just prove how dumb I am or does anyone follow that crap.

You got it man. If the trait "gene" for treeing is the same set of genes being expressed reguardless of line or maybe even breed than taking dogs that have been S-crossed enough to express those traits then breeding those offspring together you should get good stuff.

MRG. I might not have said it right but I also believe you have to use both ways of breeding .Supercrossing is the best way to bring those traits inline the quickest IMO. it uses linebreeding and a big dose of selection "ability/ability and top reproducer/ top reproducer. The last thing I really like about it is anyone can start their own line just build on the best reproducers you have and apy attention to what others are working with in the breed.

Papers show us what happened ,they are a way to track success ,selection is either based on a visual record or a paper record, either one is some type of record of success. What I mean is you can pick a dog based on hounds you like the traits of which would be your own mental set of papers or you can use any other set of "papers" you may want to use. Either way people will use a record of some kind . other wise we would all be hunting Walkdoodles and Labrabones .

So Kelly/Dean, what does Bubba's pedigree look like? He was definately in a supercross litter and his sire and Dam are from supercross litters. But how linebred is he? Is he ready for an outcross or should he be linebred again? I know what his traits/phenotypes are but are they "fixed"?

I'm sure if you went back to the well once more it would work out great. Bubba on a heavy Yellow River female or one of those good sisters he had to a Doc/Fiddle male.

I am pretty sure that one of those good sisters will be at Southern Days. You should talk with her owner. What about Bubba X Flow/Pearl? Wouldn't that be a great example of what we have been talking about? A linebred female outcrossed to a sire and it producing a supercross. And then linebreeding one of those offspring to a linebred sire to make the offspring's traits "fixed"?

We have one up here , he is not titled and won't be. His name is Quick and he is a solid coonhound . we have killed many coon with him. he has been bred once . There were three pups they are 13 months old and all are doing very good. The female he was bred to was........HMMMM...... a full sister to Bubba .

I will probably breed mine when she is ready to a Rocky/Maggie male.

RedScorpion
I'm a little confused ,if we don't use history or observation than what criteria are you saying we should use in the first place to pick the right cross. Just trying to understand.

RedScorpion, maybe I'm just luckier than some. That would be my guess. I follow what your saying now, not sure I agree 100% but I would say that by linebreeding we increase the chance of those traits becoming expressed weather they are genes or modifiers that line up doesn't really matter as long as they are expressed. Your right about it being harder because of all the different traits we want but there are a few that seem to be tied together. Intensity and instinct will bring out a lot of the other traits we like. These two key traits carry on in families, they are genetic for sure. I have to believe that developing a dog line that produces a higher % of winners than the generation before will eventually lead to even higher and higher numbers. That is also something we can see by looking at records and papers. I'm no expert ,I grew up on a dairy farm where my mother kept excellent records of all the cows and offspring that were ever born on the farm. When they sold out we realized every cow went back to only 3 brood cows . many others had come and gone but those cow families stayed. We never linebred the cows but I learned that some traits seemed to be fixed in some families of cows. I think S-cross is nothing more than a way to identify those families and build on them.

Selection of mating pairs by traits is definately the way to go. I think that we all agree on this. But what I think some are saying is that you can "stack the deck" by making this selection within a family of hounds. But you have to have the supercrosses in order to have enough dogs with these good traits in the same family. And different people have different ideas as to what traits are the most important. Maybe everyone should make a list of what traits they are looking for and then rank them as to importance. This might help to evaluate a breeding pair.

RS, I agree with you , we did not talk about culling but it has to be a very important part of the breeder program.
I would guess that your method of picking dogs that have as many similar traist that you like is very sound and if we looked back far enough into any of the S-cross dogs of today we would find that that is how most all of them began. It is step one in breeding any method. I want to be clear ,breed for the traits and line them up is always what we want to do. If a person wants to ad in extra criteria like line breeding and titled dogs and top reproducers than none of that should take away from the fact we have picked them because of the traits we like first and the other criteria is used to limit the choices not to override the fact that the trait must line up.

It is a baseball anology.... First you have to have a top batter who has shown that they can do it, then you have to have a top capable major league pitcher who can throw a fastball right down the middle and then the batter has to hit a home run right out of the park. Clear as mud, right?
