As Red Blakesley told me-
In 1984 when I went to his kennel to get my pup and he had 3 litters and over 20 to pick from: “they’re all bred to make coonhounds.” So I picked one from the female I liked the best. 4 years later I bought that female a few days before Red passed from cancer.
Now had I raised the litters and been with the pups from day one, may have been a total different story.
When I took my Dad to get his gift of a Black and Tan at Limber Lost Kennel, the same thing happen. Different litters and lots of pups so he just stood off in the corner and a male came up to him and hung around his feet and he told Ed, “guess he’s picking me”. Both pups turned out to be very good hounds.
If they’re bred right, I don’t think anything really matters on how to pick. When I keep one now out of my Running Walkers, it’s just color or I let the granddaughters pick it for me. The redbone pup I just got now, was the last one in the litter and he’s only 4 months and he looks like he has the tools😉
