Breeding
I always say,"Watch what a person does not what they say." Every breeder and owner feeds their own dogs ,therefore they can do whatever they want. Thankfully no one tells us how to breed a redbone. At least not yet. Richard bred his gyp to Gr Nt Pigeon River Jim. He is a " say a little get deep with the meat coondog'', just like a lot of these Fireball/ Banjo III dogs I have messed with. Mandolin, PD River Rock, the Jon Henry dog, his sister Mandy II ,Pigeon River Jim, and now Pistol a son of Jon and Jon Jr. and I am sure their are many more I am not listing. All are dogs that get deep and stay gone and don't say a lot on the ground. If I was closer to the hunts I am sure Mandy II would be more well known. But these dogs are what the last part of this tread has been talked about. They are not perfect and I am thankful that Jon got down to GA and Brian Ratliff ,then Andrew Brian, a guy that is not even a redbone guy but likes to win and has with Jon. Any way we want to talk about how they do this or that, the game dictates that the faster it gets done the higher the score. Personally, if I want to here a bunch of noise in the woods.I will buy a pack of Fox hounds or beagles. I want to see coon eyes because that is what wins, coons in the tree. I tell people they all don't make top notch coon dogs. A lot will make some kind of coondog but when the genes line up and you get a great one, usually they can not be bought. Hunting a dog now that is off Lightnin and Speed Queen. When he is a grand he is 1/2 mine. He has the tools and some. Made Nt Ch a couple weeks ago and am gonna breed him to Mandy II. Wow do I hope the genes line up on the one I keep. They should be some burners. Hope to see you at a hunt soon. Good luck to all whatever your fancy.
