Do you think it makes a difference now?
Years ago, when Warren Haslouer offered pups for sale out of Diamond Jim, he announced that the mothers of the pups could run and tree their own coon....and that was it! It was enough then to sell every pup that he could raise, and there was always a waiting list....for pups out of females that could run and tree their own coon. That was enough back then. My question is, do you think it is enough now? I read an interview with Elbert Vaughn from years gone by, and he was asked if he believed the day would come when dogs would be judged on the basis of titles or hunts they had won. His answer was, "No"! He was basing it on his own experience for his dogs, for the most part, were not competition hunted yet the demand for his pups was much greater than the pups he could raise!!! He had a loooooooong waiting list! Is it enough today to use a well known stud, that has proven his ability to reproduce, from females that can tree their own coon?
