If I have a cull it is my own fault. I did the research. I picked the breeder who I will buy a top quality pup from. I provided the best possilble environment for the pup I purchased. I got it out into the woods so the pups natural instincts will take over. Therefore I take full responsibility for the pup and will feed and raise it like one of my kids. You don't cull your kids even thou there are times you wish you could. My current pup is from Red Fever Redbones , 1 year old, took it to a ukc show last weekend and had several people tell me what a beautiful pup and excellent mouth it had. Alot of natural hunting ability. Very happy with it.

Too each there own. I refuse to look at my pups as such and I certainly cull them if need be. Last thing I'm going to do is waste my time on one that doesn't make the cut.

It cost just as much to raise a winner as it does a loser

I had a B&T that you had to drag off the tree and usually she tried to drag you back to the tree. Never left a tree but her tracking was not the best , kept her 9 years. My current redbone was 4 years younger but did not like to grab onto a coon on the ground. Would not put enough pressure on the coon to make it climb. Both hounds were not perfect, but they made a heck of a good team for 5 years. Extremely nice long bawl mouth chop on tree , and loud.
